These preserves do not gel at all, they are very syrupy. Try these as a glaze for chicken or on pork or chicken sandwiches. Posted by request. From The Joy of Jams, Jellies and other Sweet Preserves.

Time 1h

Yield 3 pints

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/4 lbs yellow tomatoes
4 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 medium pineapple
4 slices fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Dip the tomatoes into boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds. Let them cool and slip off their skins. Cut them into wedges and put the wedges into a bowl. Add the sugar and gently mix. Cover the bowl and let stand for 6 to 12 hours, gently turning the tomatoes once or twice in the meantime.
  • Peel and core the pineapple and chop it coarsely, reserving all the juice. Weigh the chopped pineapple, you should have 3/4 pound.
  • Strain the syrup from the tomatoes into a nonreactive pot. Add an sugar from the bottom of the bowl and any juice from chopping the pineapple. Put the ginger slices into a spice bag and add it to the pot.
  • Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved. Raise the heat to high and boil the syrup until it reaches the thread stage or 230 degrees. Add the tomato wedges and chopped pineapple. Reduce the heat and barely simmer the mixture until the tomato wedges are partially translucent, at least 30 minutes. Skim off an foam.
  • Press the spice bag against the side of the pot, and remove the bag. Ladle the preserves into pint or half-pint jars. Add lids and process the jars for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my preserves turned out too runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These preserves are a bit tart for my taste, but I think they would be great on a grilled cheese sandwich.

I'm not a big fan of preserves, but these are actually really good. The pineapple flavor is not overpowering and the preserves are not too sweet.

These preserves are a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I had a bunch of yellow tomatoes that were about to go bad, so I decided to make these preserves and they turned out great!

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I'm so glad I did! The pineapple flavor is subtle and really complements the tomatoes.

These yellow tomato pineapple preserves are a delightful twist on traditional preserves. The pineapple adds a tropical sweetness that pairs perfectly with the tangy tomatoes.
