SPICED TOMATO JAM 
3 c. prepared tomatoes
1/4 c. lemon juice
4 1/2 c. sugar
1 pkg. powdered pectin
1 1/2 tsp. grated lemon rind
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. cloves

Scald, peel and chop about 2 1/4 pounds red tomatoes. Cover and simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Measure 3 cups of the tomatoes into 6 or 8 quart saucepan. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon rind, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon cloves to tomatoes. Measure sugar and set aside. Stir powdered pectin into prepared tomatoes.

Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Add sugar all at once. Stir and bring to a full rolling boil (one that cannot be stirred down). Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off foam with metal spoon. Ladle into hot sterile jars, leaving 1/8 inch at the top, and seal.

HINTS: Makes about 5 small jars. This is excellent served on toasted English muffins. Use those extra tomatoes for this wonderful fruity jam.

I made two batches of this yesterday; it is delicious! The recipe worked perfectly. Never had tomato jam before, so was kind of surprised out how good it is and tastes more fruity than tomatoey, the spices smell so great. May try with a little cayenne for some zip. Loved it!
