Cherry Tomato Jam

Ingredients for around 1.5 cups:

• 500 grams cherry tomatoes, washed and dried
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• ½ cinnamon stick (optional)
• 250 grams sugar

Preparation:

1. Place the cherry tomatoes, lemon juice and cinnamon stick (if using) in a large pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and allow to simmer for 30 minutes. Add the sugar, increasing to medium to heat until coming to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
2. To check to see if the jam is ready place a small amount of jam on a cold plate and then transfer to the freezer for 2-3 minutes. When you take it out of the freezer, make a line with your finger through the jam. If the line remains, the jam is ready to be poured into the jar.
