HOW TO MAKE PORTUGUESE TOMATO JAM
Step 1: Wash and remove the tomato skin and seeds.
Step 2: In a large saucepan, add the tomato cut into small pieces, sugar and the cinnamon sticks. Stir with a wooden spoon and bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 3: When it starts to boil, reduce to low heat and simmer about 1 hour and 20 minutes until thickens (pass a wooden spoon in the bottom of the saucepan and if it leaves a trail like a road, the sweet is ready), stirring occasionally.
Step 4: Turn off the heat, remove the cinnamon sticks and let cool to room temperature.
Step 5: Reserve the tomato jam in a glass jar tightly closed.
HOW TO STORE
Let the tomato jam cool to room temperature and store it in the refrigerator in a glass jar tightly closed. If it is sealed tightly, you can store the jam for about 1 month. After this period, it may begin to lose quality and develop microorganisms.
