Canadian fresh tomato butter is a delicious and easy condiment that celebrates the abundance of the harvest season. This recipe is a twist on traditional tomato jam recipes: instead of adding pectin, this recipe uses fresh apples for a natural thickening agent. The cinnamon and cayenne pepper add a depth of flavor and aroma to the mixture. The spread can be enjoyed as a dip or used as a marinade for grilled meat. The possibilities are endless!

Instructions

1.Blanch the tomatoes and remove the skin. Then, chop the flesh into small pieces.
2.In a large pot, add chopped tomatoes, white vinegar, celery, apples, pickling salt, mixed pickling spice, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon sticks, and cayenne pepper.
3.Cook the ingredients over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
4.Add sugar to the pot and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches a jam-like consistency.
5.Remove cinnamon sticks and carefully transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend until the mixture turns into a smooth puree.
6.Pour the puree into prepared sterilized jars. Store the jars in the refrigerator or preserve them in a water bath canner following the manufacturer’s instructions.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, potassium, and lycopene, an antioxidant that has been linked to reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer. However, the long cooking time can result in the degradation of vitamin C and lycopene. It’s best to enjoy this condiment in moderation due to its high sugar content.
