Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Wash the tomatoes thoroughly, remove the stems, and chop them into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the chopped tomatoes, sugar, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and red pepper flakes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mixture

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Allow the mixture to simmer for about 45-60 minutes, or until it thickens to a jam-like consistency.

  5. 5

    Jar the Jam

    Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly before transferring to sterilized jars. Seal the jars and let them cool completely.
