  • To peel tomatoes, plunge them into boiling water until their skins start to crack. Some of them are slower to respond than others. This takes about 5-10 minutes. Remove each one as it cracks and place on rack to cool. Once cool, remove skin from each one and discard. Cut each tomato in half, preserving the juice.
  • Process tomato flesh and drained sun-dried tomatoes in blender of food processor until smooth. Place in medium saucepan and add sugar and spices. Bring to boil. Lower heat and cook for 20 minutes or until the mixture is thick, stirring often. Add tamarind and sea salt and stir well.
  • Taste for salt, sugar and tamarind. The sauce should have a hint of sweetness and be a bit tart. Ladle into clean jars. Best served warm or at room temperature. Yields about 3, eight-ounce jars.

Notes

**If you prefer your jam to be seed-free, cut each tomato in half and, into a sieve placed over a bowl, gently squeeze out most of the seeds. Discard seeds in sieve and reserve juices. Chop the flesh coursely before placing into food processor.
