Ingredients

  • 1 lb. yellow pear tomatoes
  • 1 lb. sugar
  • 2 ozs. preserved Canton ginger
  • 2 lemons

Directions

1

Wipe tomatoes, cover with boiling water, and let stand until skins may be easily removed. Add sugar, cover, and let stand over night. In the morning pour off syrup and boil until quite thick; skim, then add tomatoes, ginger, and lemons which have been sliced and the seeds removed. Cook until tomatoes have a clarified appearance.
