Tomato Preserves
1 1/2 quarts peeled, small, yellow, green or red tomatoes (about 2 lbs.)
1 tablespoon mixed pickling spices
1 (1/2 inch) piece of ginger root
4 cups sugar
1 cup thinly slicked lemons (about 2 medium)
3/4 cup water
Wash and drain tomatoes. Do not core tomatoes. Tie spices and ginger root in a bag. Combine spice bag, sugar, lemon and water in a large saucepan. Simmer 15 minutes. Add tomatoes; cook gently until tomatoes become transparent, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat. Cover and let stand 12-18 hours in a cool place.
Remove spice bag. Remove tomatoes and lemon from syrup. Boil syrup 2-3 minutes or longer to thicken. Return tomatoes and lemon to syrup; boil 1 minute. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary. Ladle hot preserves into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps. Process 20 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
Yield about 6 half-pints
