Ingredients:
- 5 roma tomatoes (500 g)
- 50 g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 2 ml (1/4 tsp) raw cider vinegar
- 2 g (1/3 tsp) salt
- .5 g (1/8 tsp) ground cinnamon
- .5 g (1/8 tsp) ground ginger
- .5 g (1/8 tsp) dried sumac
- dash ground allspice
- dash grated nutmeg
- dash ground clove
- dash cayanne
- dash cumin
- 3 g (1 tsp) gelatine
Directions:
- bring a pot of water to a boil
- clean and rinse tomatoes, then cut a small "X" in the bottom of each; don't cut too deeply.
- place tomatoes into boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until the skins begin to peel back from the "X"
- ladle the tomatoes carefully from the boiling water into an ice bath; after 1-2 minutes the skins should begin to shrink
- peel off the skins and remove the core from each tomato, then rough chop
- place tomatoes into a pot with sugar, vinegar, salt, and spice, and bring to a boil for a few minutes
- reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the mix begins to thicken, stirring to prevent any burning on the bottom
- run the mix through a (manual) food mill
- return the strained purée and the remaining tomato chunks to the pot, along with gelatine
- stir over low heat, until thickened to the consistency of jam
