Dulce de Tomate [Recipe + Video] Tomato Preserve

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 pound cherry tomato

  [1.4 kg]
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 2 star anise
• 2 cups sugar

  (you may use less)
• 1 cup raisins

  or sultanas (optional)
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

• 1 Make a superficial cross cut on the opposite side of the tomato stems.
  
  Rinse the tomatoes.
• 2 Heat the tomatoes in abundant boiling water (enough to cover them). Remove from
  the heat when the peel starts to come off.
  
  Let the tomatoes cool down to room temperature.
• 3 Peel the tomatoes and discard the skin. Squeeze the tomatoes to extract the
  seeds, into a sieve, with a clean bowl underneath to catch the juice.
  
  Strain the seeds to get all the juice you can and add the juice to the tomatoes.
  Discard the seeds.
• 4 In a saucepan, boil the cinnamon, star anise, sugar, raisins, and salt over low
  heat in a cup of water until the water becomes lightly colored.
  
  Add the tomatoes and the juice.
• 5 Boil over medium heat, stirring frequently, until you reach the desired
  consistency (with a light syrup to serve as dessert, no liquid to make it into
  jam).
• 6 Remove the cinnamon and star anise. Let the tomatoes cool to room temperature.
  
  Chill before serving.
