A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

2 1/2 pounds fresh tomatoes
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 box (1.75 ounce size) Sure Jell pectin
2 pounds sugar

Peel the tomatoes and chop the flesh. Place the tomatoes in a saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the tomatoes have broken down and release their juices. You should have about 3 cups of cooked tomatoes.
Add the lemon juice and pectin. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
Add the sugar to the tomatoes. Return the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
Remove the pan from the heat. Skim off any foam. Pour the tomato preserves into sterilized canning jars and process in a hot water bath for 15 minutes or as directed by the jar manufacturer.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

My grandma taught me to make tomato preserves exactly this way except she never added butter and used broken cinnamon sticks rather than cinnamon, which looked really pretty in the jars along with the lemon slices. No need for pectin either. Love these preserves.

This recipe was excellent! Just like I remembered. I had no scale for weight, so I guessed the amount of sugar, after reading some other recipes. Turned out perfect. :)

So far, this is the best Tomato Preserve Recipe that I have tried. This one is so good... I think my searching is over. Great with fresh biscuits and butter.
