Tómat marmelaði

Tomato jam

I found this recipe for a delicious, sweet tomato jam on the website of "Sölufélag garðyrkumanna", the sales association of Icelandic horticultural businesses, and tried it out straight away. My children reacted a bit cautiously ("Tomatoes? Jam?!?"), but I actually like it, fruity and delicious!

Ingredients

10 tomatoes

2 oranges

1/2 lemon

200 g sugar

1/2 tsp ground cloves

1 cinnamon stick

Preparation

Carefully cut the skin of the tomatoes...

....dip the tomatoes briefly in boiling water and then rinse them under cold water. Then peel off the skin and chop the peeled tomatoes.

Also peel the oranges and cut them into small pieces.

Place the tomato and orange pieces in a large pot.

Squeeze the lemon and pour the juice into the pot.

Add sugar, cloves and cinnamon stick and let everything cook over medium heat for about 1 hour until the jam has thickened nicely (test for gelling!).

Remove the cinnamon stick.

Rinse the jam jars with boiling water and pour in the hot jam directly.

Tastes wonderful - especially on cheese bread!

Bon appetit!
