How to make tomato jam
Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Wash and dry the tomatoes. Also, wash the lemon thoroughly and rinse it with boiling water several times.
Cut the tomatoes into small pieces, making sure to remove the stems. Place the chopped tomatoes in a saucepan.
Wash and dry the apples, cut them in half, and then remove the core. Cut the apples into small pieces and add them to the tomatoes.
Next, cut the lemon into small pieces and add it to the pan with all the ingredients.
Pour granulated sugar into a container.
Mix all ingredients and leave for an hour.
After an hour, return the pan to the heat, bring to a boil, and simmer for three minutes. Turn off the heat and let the jam cool. Then repeat the process. Boil the jam a total of three times.
Place the jam into pre-washed and sterilized jars.
Immediately roll up the jars with lids and turn them upside down, cover with a blanket, and leave for 24 hours. Store the jam in the cellar.
