Tomato Preserves
1 tbls mixed pickling spices 1 piece ginger root (about an inch) 4 cups sugar 1 cup thinly sliced lemon 3/4 cup water 1 1/2 quarts (2 1/2-3 lbs) cherry tomatoes, halved.
Tie spices in a cheesecloth bag; add to sugar, lemon, and water in a large sauce pot. Simmer 15 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook gently until tomatoes become transparant, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cover and let stand 12-18 hours in a cool place.
Remove spice bag. Drain; reserving syrup. Boil syrup 2-3 minutes or longer if too thin. Add tomatoes and lemon; boil 1 minute.
Pour hot into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Adjust caps. Process in boiling water bath 20 minutes. Yields about 6 half pints.
You can also check various chutney recipes, and adapt them as necessary to use halved or quartered cherry tomatoes.
