250 g tomatoes (whatever variety is ripest)
approx. 100 g sugar
1 chilli (to taste)
a 1 pinch of salt
lemon juice

Preparation

Preparation

Cut the tomatoes into quarters and finely chop the chilli.

Place both in a saucepan along with approx. 50 ml water. The water is just to keep the tomatoes from sticking to the pan.

Bring the mixture to a boil and add the sugar.

Boil until the liquid has reduced completely.

Give it a whiz with a handheld blender before seasoning to taste with salt and lemon juice.

Cool completely before serving.

Tips & Tricks

Store the jam in scalded jars and in the refrigerator to prolong the shelf life. If you make a large portion, rinse the jars with some sodium benzoate first. This improves their shelf life even more.
