Instructions

- Chop off skin of pineapple and remove core.
- Cut tomatoes and pineapple into small cubes (about 12/-1 cm by ½ - 1 cm)
- Place in a saucepan with 1 cup of the sugar.
- Place rest of sugar in a baking dish, place in oven and turn heat to 160 degrees celsius (fan-forced) or equivalent.
- Gently heat the pineapple, tomato and sugar mixture until the sugar dissolves.
- Turn up heat to medium/high and boil for 20 minutes.
- Add heated sugar from oven to the mixture and stir in quickly to dissolve.
- Continue to boil steadily on medium heat, stirring regularly, for 30 minutes.
- A couple of minutes before taking the jam off the stove, add the tartaric acid and stir to combine.
- Pour into sterilised jars and seal immediately.
Notes
- Peeling tomato skins
- Tomato skins should split after being scalded and you should be able to easily peel them off with your hands. If they’re not split, apply a little pressure or cut the skin a little with a sharp knife and then the skin should peel off easily. If using cherry tomatoes, they should just pop out of their skin by applying a little pressure at the base of the tomato.
