Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Roma tomatoes, about 10 tomatoes
  • 1 cup light brown sugar*, packed
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. To a large bowl, add cold water and plenty of ice for an ice bath.
  2. 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.
  3. Blanch the tomatoes in the boiling water for 30-60 seconds. Then, immediately place them in the prepared ice water for about a minute.
  4. 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.
  5. Seed and dice the tomatoes. You will have about 2 ½-3 cups of diced tomatoes.
  6. 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.
  7. Reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened (45-60 minutes).
  8. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature before serving.

Notes

  • *If desired, you can decrease the sugar up to 1/2 cup.
