π Recipe adapted from RecipeNLG-Full
Select small, firm, yellow or red tomatoes.
Wash and drain. If a tomato preserve with skins is desired, dip the tomatoes into boiling water, then into cold water and remove skins.
Handle carefully.
Boil lemon 5 minutes in part of water.
Boil remaining water with sugar for 5 minutes to make a syrup.
Add tomatoes, ginger root, lemon and liquid in which lemon was cooked.
Boil until tomatoes are clear and the syrup somewhat thick.
Remove scum.
Fill hot, sterilized jars 3/4 full with the preserved fruit. If paraffin is to be used, add enough syrup to fill jar to 1/4 inch of top of jar; otherwise, fill to top.
Seal, label and store.
