Method

  1. Cut the tomato into small cubes and mix it with the sugar.
  2. Let it rest for a while, until the sugar begins to dissolve in the juice released by the tomato.
  3. Transfer it to a deep pot with enough room for stirring, because like all jams, it is very likely to splatter. Cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently so it does not stick to the bottom.
  4. If foam forms, remove it with a skimmer.
  5. When it begins to thicken, lower the heat and let it cook for about 15 more minutes. Do not wait until it dries out too much: when cooling, as happens with other sweets, it hardens.
  6. When ready, store the jam in a sterilized glass jar, sealed and in the refrigerator. Serve it on toast with butter or cream cheese.
