Time 13h20m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds tomatoes, diced
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 cup brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
1 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Inspect jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Combine tomatoes, onion, brown sugar, pepper flakes, cumin, coriander, salt, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until reduced and it reaches a jam-like consistency, 20 to 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

This jam is delicious, but it's a lot of work to make. I'm not sure if I'll make it again.

I had trouble getting the jam to set. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

This jam is a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I still enjoyed this jam. The sweetness of the tomatoes balances out the heat of the spices.
