Tomato Preserves - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs cherry tomatoes, rinsed and stemmed (about 4 cups)
1 1/4 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 lemon, including peel, rinsed and very thinly sliced
2 tablespoons ginger, minced fresh
1 teaspoon cumin, ground
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1/8 teaspoon clove, ground
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

In a 3- to 4-quart pan, combine tomatoes, brown sugar, vinegar, lemon, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often.
Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture is reduced to 2 cups and has the consistency of thick jam, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
