Spicy Fresh Tomato Jam

 

3 medium tomatoes (about 1 pound)

1 small onion, chopped

1/3 cup apple jelly

3 tbsps. cider vinegar

2 tbsps. fresh tarragon leaves, chopped

1/2 tsp. dried red pepper flakes

Cut an X in the bottom of each tomato and blanch it in boiling water for 10

seconds. Remove tomatoes with a slotted spoon and transfer to ice water. The

skins should slip off. Peel, seed and chop tomatoes.

In a saucepan over medium-low heat, add tomatoes, onion, jelly, vinegar,

tarragon, red pepper flakes and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently until

thickened, about 40 minutes. Cool jam to room temperature. Jam keeps, covered

and chilled, 1 month. Bring jam to room temperature before serving.
