<\/a>5 pounds tomatoes, cored and finely chopped\n1 C. sugar** (see note below)
\n\u00c2\u00bd C. freshly squeezed lime juice
\n2 tsp. grated peeled fresh ginger
\n1 tsp. ground cinnamon
\n\u00c2\u00bd tsp. ground cloves
\n1 tsp. sea salt
\n1\/2 tsp. red pepper flakes** (see note below)<\/p>\n
Prepare water bath and jars. After water reaches boiling point, keep on low heat until needed. Place lids in a small saucepan, cover with water and place on very low heat. Tomatoes 032Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low. Simmer the jam, stirring regularly, until it reduces to a consistency similar to jam. If you wish to test it, drop a tsp. onto a saucer. When cooled, the jam should stay in a mound. If it runs down the saucer when titled, it needs more cooking. This will take between 1 1\/2 to 2 hours. When jam has cooked down sufficiently, remove pot from the heat and ladle jam into the prepared jars, leaving 1\/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rims, apply the lids and rings, and process in a water bath for 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
I used organic raw sugar in this recipe. I use less sugar than Marisa does in her recipe since I like to more tangy. It is shelf stable, however, because of the added acid. Marisa suggests 3 \u00c2\u00bd C. but I find 1 C. gives it just the savory-ness I like.
\nI used \u00c2\u00bd tsp. red pepper flakes which gives it a bit of heat but not over the top. Adjust to your taste preferences, as is true for all spices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
