Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 3 pounds fresh tomatoes (washed and dried, stemmed and cut into large chunks)
  • ½ cup yellow onion, (finely chopped)
  • 2 approximately (3-inch) serrano chile peppers, (stems, seeds and membranes removed )
  • ½ cup granulated sugar ((see notes))
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

Instruction

  • Combine ingredients. Add the tomatoes, onion and peppers to a medium-sized sauce pot. Sprinkle with the sugar and drizzle with the lime juice. Mix well and turn the heat to high.
  • Cook. Bring to a boil and then immediately turn the heat to low and let it simmer gently until it's nicely thickened, about 2 hours.
  • Cool. Let the preserves cool completely before refrigerating. (Wrapped tightly, this will keep in the refrigerator for about 3 weeks.)
