Preserved Tomatoes

Ingredients

• 2 lbs. raw sugar
• Equal volume water (~2-3 cups)
• 1 lb. ripe tomatoes

Directions

1. Begin by making syrup in a medium-large pot on low heat. 
2. Once the sugar has dissolved and simmered for a few minutes, add the tomatoes.
3. Allow these to cook for 10-15 minutes, or until tender over a low heat (they do not require a great deal of cooking).
4. Preserves may be canned/jarred for 3-6 months, or eaten from the refrigerator for a week safely.
