How to Make Citrus Tomato Marmalade

  1. Core and cut the tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Place in a colander and let drain for 15 minutes.
  2. Thinly slice the oranges and lemon. Quarter the slices.
  3. Place the cinnamon sticks and cloves in a cheesecloth bag, tie securely.
  4. In a large, heavy-bottomed kettle, combine the drained tomatoes, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
  5. Add the orange and lemon slices and the spice bag to the kettle.
  6. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and burning. Continue to boil rapidly, stirring frequently, until the marmalade thickens significantly (about 60-70 minutes). The marmalade will be ready when a small amount placed on a chilled plate sets quickly.
  7. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes.
  8. Skim off any foam that has risen to the surface.
  9. Carefully ladle the hot marmalade into sterilized 1/2-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  10. Wipe the jar rims clean, and seal tightly with lids.
  11. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. Ensure jars are fully submerged.
  12. Remove jars and let cool completely. You should hear a popping sound as the jars seal. Store in a cool, dark place.
  13. Note: Recipe can be easily halved if needed.
