Tomato Jam
This is a very good old time jam thats great on toasted english muffins-not to mention a great way to use a surplus of tomatoes.
Steps
Scald , peel , core and quarter tomatoes-squeeze out seeds and juice reserving only the pulp.
Bring to a boil , reduce and simmer for 10 minutes-stirring frequently-uncovered.
Measure-you want 3 cups of pulp.
Put pulp , lemons and pectin in a large pot-stainless or enamel.
Bring to a full boil stirring constantly.
Add sugar and boil rapidly for another 3 min.
Cool for 5 min , stirring often.
Ladle into clean , hot jars leaving 1 / 4 inch head space.
Process for 10 minutes at altitudes up to 1000 feet.
