Tomato Jam

This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Poe Estate in Justin, Texas in 1987. From "Catsrecipes Y-Group"

Ingredients

• 3 pounds tomatoes peeled
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
• ¼ teaspoon turmeric
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 small grated onion
• 2 tablespoons honey
• ½ teaspoon olive oil

Procedures

1. Fry spices except cinnamon in the olive and sesame oil.
2. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil.
3. Simmer with no lid for 10 minutes.
4. Add tomatoes and onions and cook 30 minutes to reduce then add cinnamon.
5. When a spoon scraped across the pan leaves a path it is thick enough.
6. Stir in honey and a remaining olive oil heating a bit to thicken again.
