Roasted Tomato Jam

Recipe Information

Ingredients

• 3.75 lb Roma tomatoes
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ½ tbsp red chili flakes
• 2 tbsp garlic (chopped)
• olive oil, salt & pepper (for roasting)

Directions

1. Quarter and seed tomatoes.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roast tomatoes with olive oil, garlic , salt and pepper. Cook until starting to brown, approximately two hours.

3. Add cooled tomatoes to food processor and roughly chop.

4. Combine chopped tomatoes and remaining ingredients in a large, non-reactive pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce temperature to a simmer. Stirring regularly, cook at a lowest simmer until it reduces to a sticky, jammy consistency. (This will take between 1 and 1 1/2 hours, depending on how high you keep your heat.)

5. Can or freeze tomato jam. Recommended in jars no larger than 8 ounces.
