Quick Tomato Jam

I love tomato jam, but can't buy it in the uk! So the last time i went back to south africa on holiday, i managed to get hold of this very easy and very quick tomato jam recipe.

Steps

Mix tomatoes , apple and ginger in a large microwave-proof dish.
Microwave uncovered at 100% power for 15 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice and caster sugar and microwave at 100% for a further 40 minutes , or until jam starts setting , stirring every 10 minutes.
The time the jam takes to set depends on the wattage of your microwave.
It might be a good idea to spoon a bit onto a cold plate after 25 minutes , and see if it sets.
When done , spoon the hot jam into sterilized jars and seal immediately.

Ingredients

chopped tomatoes, apple, preserved gingerroot, lemon juice, caster sugar
