    List of Ingredients




    3 quarts of yellow tomatoes
    5 1/2 cups of sugar
    2 pieces crushed ginger root (each 1 inch long)
    8 lemons, sliced paper thin

    Wash tomatoes, hold in boiling water 1/2 minute or until the skin loosens easily. Cool and slip off skins.
    Place in bowl in alternate layers with sugar and let stand overnight or at least 4 hours. Turn the tomatoes gently once in the juice which has formed. Drain off juice, about 3 1/2 cups and boil until the syrup gives the jelly test. Simmer lemon slices in one cup of water for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add lemon slices, water, ginger root and tomatoes to syrup and simmer until tomatoes are transparent, at least 5 minutes. Pour into hot sterilized jars. Seal. Makes 3 1/2 pints.
