The Sweet Tomato

Tomato Jam
3 1/2 pounds tomatoes, coarsely shopped
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 cup cider vinegar
juice of 1 lemon

Put all ingredients in a 2-quart pot. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until thickened to a jam-like consistency, about 3 hours. Transfer to sterilized glass jars and store in refrigerator for up to two weeks, or use a hot-water canning bath for 15 minutes for long-term storage.

This is a really great and easy recipe. Add the candied tomatoes to any dish or appetizer that you want some really deep flavor. I add it to goat cheese and fresh cappello pasta. I've smeared it on some bread. You can also use these tomatoes as a topper to soup or over chicken and grilled beef.
