Quick Tomato Jam - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (410 g) cans chopped tomatoes
1 apple (peeled & grated)
80 ml chopped preserved gingerroot
60 ml lemon juice
500 ml caster sugar

Preparation

Mix tomatoes, apple and ginger in a large microwave-proof dish.
Microwave uncovered at 100% power for 15 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice and caster sugar and microwave at 100% for a further 40 minutes, or until jam starts setting, stirring every 10 minutes.
The time the jam takes to set depends on the wattage of your microwave.
It might be a good idea to spoon a bit onto a cold plate after 25 minutes, and see if it sets.
When done, spoon the hot jam into sterilized jars and seal immediately.
