Strawberry Tomato (Physalis) Jam
- 400 grams Edible strawberry tomatoes (physalis)
- 160 grams Granulated sugar (or caster sugar)
- 50 ml Water
- 1 from 1/2 a lemon Lemon juice
- Peel the flaky outer shells off the strawberry tomatoes and wash them.
- Please get rid of any damaged or badly scratched tomatoes.
- Add the tomatoes to a pan along with the sugar and water and place it over medium heat.
- When the edges of the pan start to bubble, turn the heat down to low.
- Stir the mixture to prevent it from burning, and cook it down while squashing the tomatoes.
- When it has cooked down and thickened a little, mix in the lemon juice and stop the heat.
- The jam will thicken as it cools so don't worry if you think it's still a little too runny.
- Transfer the jam to a sterilised jar while it's still hot and put the lid on.
- Let it cool to 80C, where the jar should still be quite hot to handle, and turn the jar upside-down.
- By turning the jar upside-down it will prevent drops of water from gathering on the lid so you can keep it for longer.
- Once the jam has cooled, it's ready to use.
- Be careful not to burn yourself while cooking this recipe!
