How to Make Dulce De Tomate Tomato Jam

  1. Wash and halve 4-5kg ripe tomatoes. Remove seeds and roughly chop the flesh.
  2. Place the chopped tomato flesh (approximately 3kg) in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Add 1kg granulated sugar, 1 cup (200ml) white wine vinegar, 1/2 cup (100ml) water, 1 cinnamon stick, 4 cloves, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer uncovered for approximately 120-135 minutes, or until the jam has thickened significantly. Stir frequently to prevent burning and to ensure even cooking. The jam should coat the back of a spoon.
  5. Remove from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick and cloves.
  6. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized mason jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean and seal tightly with new lids.
  8. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (or follow recommended processing time for your altitude) to ensure proper sealing and shelf stability.
  9. Remove from the water bath and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying ‘pop’ as the jars seal.
  10. Once cooled, label and store in a cool, dark place. Enjoy your homemade Dulce de Tomate!
