How to Make Tomato Marmalade

  1. Peel and finely chop 4 pounds ripe tomatoes.
  2. Thinly slice 2 large oranges and 1 large lemon. Quarter the slices.
  3. Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain the chopped tomatoes to remove excess juice, reserving the juice separately.
  4. Combine the chopped tomatoes with 4 cups granulated sugar in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Stir until the sugar begins to dissolve.
  5. Add the reserved tomato juice.
  6. Add the orange and lemon slices and a cheesecloth bag containing 1 cinnamon stick, 1 teaspoon whole cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice.
  7. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  8. Reduce heat to medium-high and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the marmalade reaches setting point (about 60-75 minutes). The marmalade is ready when a small amount placed on a chilled plate wrinkles slightly when pushed with a finger.
  9. Remove the cheesecloth bag.
  10. Carefully ladle the hot marmalade into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
  11. Wipe the jar rims clean, apply lids and screw bands tightly.
  12. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Adjust processing time based on your altitude. (See resources for altitude adjustments).
  13. Remove jars from the canner and allow to cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal.
