Tomato Preserves
2 lbs ripe tomatoes
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest, grated
1 package Sure Jell
6-1/2 cups sugar
Wash, peel, core and seed tomatoes. Crush roughly and measure out 3 cups. Place tomatoes in a large saucepan and simmer 10 minutes.
Add lemon juice, lemon zest, Sure Jell and sugar. Bring to a full boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Place boiling mixture into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Wipe rim clean, seal loosely with a two part canning lid and cool on the counter. When the jars are completely cooled, tighten the ring of the lid and check the seal. Refrigerate any jars that did not seal correctly.
