Time 1h40m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds tomatoes
1 gallon boiling water
1 cup cider vinegar
½ cup apple juice
1 ½ cups brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground mustard
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 lemon, quartered and sliced thin

Steps:

  • Place the tomatoes in a large pot and pour the boiling water over the tomatoes; allow to sit 5 minutes. Remove tomatoes from boiling water and place in ice-cold water until cool enough to handle. Slip off skins and stems.
  • Coarsely chop the tomatoes in a food processor; reserve any juices and add to chopped tomatoes.
  • Combine vinegar, apple juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, mustard, allspice, cumin, and cayenne pepper in a large non-reactive pan over medium heat; cook and stir until sugar dissolves completely; stir in the chopped tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until liquid has reduced by half, 30 to 45 minutes. Add the lemon slices and cook another 15 minutes.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

SPICY TOMATO JAM



Spicy Tomato Jam image

My tomatoes overflowth! I was looking for ways to use my bounty and stumbled into this recipe on-line. It is so good I felt that it also needed to be on Zaar. The use of 1 serrano chili produces a very slight heat. If you want it "hotter", up the amount of chili. I made this with fresh garden tomatoes and fresh garden basil.

Number Of Ingredients 6

  • Remove tomatoes from hot water with a slotted spoon and plunge immediately into cold water.
  • Cut off tops, remove skin and core (It is not necessary to remove all the seeds but I would recommend removing the core.).
  • Cut the tomatoes into fourths, place in container of food processor along with metal blade and pulse 2 to 3 times to chop being careful not to over process.
  • Place the tomatoes in a large non-reactive pot or Dutch oven; simmer 10 minutes.
  • Add the chili and sugar, stirring to blend; add lemon juice, cilantro and tomato juice stirring to blend.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat and stir until sugar dissolves; approximately 1 minute.
  • Boil gently for 10 minutes skimming off and discarding any scum that may come to the surface.
  • Remove from heat, cover and allow to sit at room temperature for a minimum of 8 hours; overnight is fine.
  • Return the tomatoes to heat, bring to a simmer and allow to cook until thick and temperature on candy/jelly thermometer reaches 220 degrees; approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Skim off any foam, ladle into hot, clean, half-pint canning jars, and leaving 1-inch of head space.
  • Wipe the rim of the jars with clean cloth, place on the lids and rings; put the jars into a water bath canner with boiling water and process for 5 to 10 minutes or as recommended for your altitude.
  • Carefully remove the jars from the water and place on countertop on top of a towel.
  • Allow jars to cool and check seal; label and store in cool place. Enjoy!
  • Note: If you don't have a candy/jelly thermometer; you can use the plate test. Place a small plate in the freezer and allow to chill. Remove plate a drop a small amount of hot jam onto plate, return to freezer for 1 minute. The mixture should hold its shape when touched and not have watery edges.

SPICY TOMATO JAM



SPICY TOMATO JAM image

Categories     Tomato

Yield 1 Qt

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 lbs tomatoes
3 1/2 cups sugar(I used only 3)
8 tbsps lime juice
2 tsp freshly grated ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp chili flakes(calls for red, I used chipotle)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients in large nonreactive pan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until it cooks way down(1 to 1 1/2 hrs) Put in jars or plastic tubs

Tips:

  • Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes. Just be sure to drain them well and chop them before using.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of chili pepper flakes to taste. If you like it really spicy, add more. If you prefer a milder jam, use less.
  • Be patient when cooking the jam. It takes time for the tomatoes to break down and thicken. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with a watery jam.
  • Once the jam is done, let it cool slightly before transferring it to jars. This will help prevent the jars from cracking.

Conclusion:

Spicy tomato jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for spreading on sandwiches, crackers, or cheese. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for chicken, fish, or vegetables. And it's even good as a glaze for grilled meats.
