Greetings everyone!

I don't do much preserving or canning, I prefer to bake. But my neighbor gave me a jar of her delicious tomato preserves and I asked for the recipe. How easy! It's not really a recipe, but a simple process to use all those tomatoes which are plentiful right now.

Tomato Preserves
12-15 medium tomatoes, blanched, skinned, and chopped
2-3 lemons, sliced thin
2-3 cups sugar

1. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine tomatoes, lemons, and sugar. Cook and stir until thickened. Adjust sugar for preferred sweetness level.
2. Cool and pour into sterilized jars. Refrigerated, this conserve keeps for about one year, or until your next crop arrives.
