Instructions

Bring a pot of water to a boil. To a large bowl, add cold water and plenty of ice for an ice bath.
Thoroughly wash your tomatoes. Remove the core from the tops of the tomatoes and use a very sharp knife to cut a shallow "x" at the bottom of each tomato.
Blanch the tomatoes in the boiling water for 30-60 seconds. Then, immediately place them in the prepared ice water for about a minute.
After the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, transfer them to a cutting board. Peel the skins using either your hands or a paring knife.
Seed and dice the tomatoes. You will have about 2 ½-3 cups of diced tomatoes.
To a large saucepan over medium heat, add diced tomatoes, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, red pepper flakes, ginger, and cinnamon. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. This will take about 10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened (45-60 minutes).
Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature before serving.
