Tomato & Thyme Jam Recipe

• 1 lb Tomatoes, roughly cut (some varieties may need to be peeled)
• 1/2 c Golden Brown Sugar
• 1 T fresh Thyme, finely minced
• 4 whole Cloves
• 1" stick Cinnamon
• 2 t Balsamic Vinegar
• 1 1/2 T   fresh Lemon juice

1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, then simmer over med-low heat.  Stir occasionally and gently.  Simmer about an hour or until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency (who'd have thought.)
2. Put tomato jam into sterilized jars.  For longer storage, can in a water bath (cover with water about 1" above jars & simmer for about 15 min.) or just store in the fridge to keep for a couple weeks. recipe from WhiteOnRiceCouple.com.
