Ingredients
- 2 pounds roma tomatoes
- 3/4 /4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt or to taste
- 1/8-1/4 /8-1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 /4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 /4 cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
- Cut the stem end off of tomatoes. Then, halve the tomato the long way, and halve each side again, proceeding to dice them into about 1-inch pieces. In an oven-safe dutch oven or braiser, toss the tomatoes with the remaining ingredients.
- Place the uncovered pan in the oven and bake for approximately 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. After an hour and a half, I suggest checking the jam every 15 minutes or so for your desired doneness. Run a spoon down the middle of the jam, if the line holds, it's ready, if liquid seeps into it, continue roasting.
- Once the jam has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan; it will thicken slightly as it cools.
- Cool completely before transferring to a glass jar for storage, or serve as desired. The jam will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2 weeks. This is not a canning recipe.
