Ingredients
- 2 pounds Roma tomatoes, about 10 tomatoes
- 1 cup light brown sugar*, packed
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. To a large bowl, add cold water and plenty of ice for an ice bath.
- Thoroughly wash your tomatoes. Remove the core from the tops of the tomatoes and use a very sharp knife to cut a shallow "x" at the bottom of each tomato.
- Blanch the tomatoes in the boiling water for 30-60 seconds. Then, immediately place them in the prepared ice water for about a minute.
- After the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, transfer them to a cutting board. Peel the skins using either your hands or a paring knife.
- Seed and dice the tomatoes. You will have about 2 ½-3 cups of diced tomatoes.
- To a large saucepan over medium heat, add diced tomatoes, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, red pepper flakes, ginger, and cinnamon. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. This will take about 10 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened (45-60 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature before serving.
Notes
*If desired, you can decrease the sugar up to 1/2 cup.
