Spicy Tomato Jam

• 6 allspice berries
• 7 whole cloves
• 12 teaspoon crushed dried red pepper flakes
• 14 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 12 lbs ripe roma tomatoes
• 1 cup sugar
• 13-12 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 12 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1. Combine allspice, cloves, red pepper flakes and mustard seeds in a piece of cheesecloth.
2. Tie securely with a length of kitchen string (to form a spice bag).
3. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil; place tomatoes in the water and cook until the skins split, 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Then plunge them into a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking.
5. Pat the tomatoes dry, peel them, cut into 1/4-inch pieces.
6. Place the tomatoes and all the remaining ingredients in a heavy saucepan.
7. Add the spice bag and slowly bring the mixture to a boil.
8. Then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
9. NOTE: If using regular tomatoes you may need to simmer additional time and/or thicken somewhat with 1 to 2 teaspoons cornstarch.
10. Remove the pan from the heat and discard the spice bag.
11. Let the jam cool, refrigerate.
