Cherry Tomato Jam
Cherry tomato jam is sweet but not cloying. This unusual treat will pleasantly surprise your guests. It has a light sourness and a barely discernible tomato flavor. By following certain rules, our tomatoes will remain whole and the syrup will be transparent. If you cook the jam in one go, you'll likely end up with tomato paste instead of beautiful jam.

We will prepare the necessary ingredients for making jam from whole cherry tomatoes. The recipe is given for a small amount of jam for a trial. If you like the treat, it won't be hard to increase the recipe.
- cherry tomatoes - 250 g;
- sugar - 200 g;
- lemon - 1/8 piece.
Preparation
- To make the jam delicious and beautiful, and to keep the tomatoes whole without turning them into puree, we try to select ripe but firm cherry tomatoes with a thick skin. We remove the small cherry tomatoes from the branches and remove the stems. After washing the tomatoes, we place them in a saucepan with a thick bottom. After sprinkling the cherry fruits with sugar, we mix them with the sugar.
- We set the container with the sugar-coated tomatoes over low heat. Carefully stirring the mixture with a wooden spatula, we slowly dissolve the sugar. We cook the jam over low heat for 15 minutes.
- Then we remove the jam from the heat and let it sit for 8 hours.
- After 8 hours, we continue cooking. We cook the jam over low heat, gently stirring with a spatula to prevent the sugar from burning to the bottom. If a thick-bottomed pot is chosen, this will not happen with constant stirring. After 15 minutes of slow boiling, we remove the jam from the stove again for 8 hours. For the third time, we put the tomato jam on the heat. This is the final stage of cooking the jam. By adding lemon juice to the tomato jam, we cook it for the last 15 minutes.
- We pour the finished treat hot into previously sterilized jars, sealing them tightly. After turning the jars upside down, we wrap them in a warm blanket for 12 hours.
- Jam with whole cherry tomatoes looks tempting: bright, whole berries are nestled in a thick, transparent syrup.
