- 4 pounds tomatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 large apple, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup raw sugar
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, or more to taste
- Combine tomatoes, apple, sugar, onion, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until dark and syrupy, about 2 hours 30 minutes. Continue simmering until mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency, about 30 minutes more.
- Remove jam from heat and cool to room temperature, 1 to 2 hours. Transfer to lidded containers and refrigerate.
