Core the Tomatoes, Halve Them, and Dig Out the Seeds With a Table Knife. Cut the Tomatoes Into 3/4" Cubes (or Smaller If You Like). |

Place the Tomatoes in a Heavy 6-Quart Pot With the Sugar, Lemon Zest, and Lemon Juice. Stir Well, Then Bring to a Boil Over Moderate Heat. Reduce the Heat to Maintain a Slow Simmer and Continue Cooking Until the Tomatoes Become Translucent and the Syrupy Liquid Thickens Considerably, About 40 Minutes, Stirring Occasionally to Prevent the Jam from Sicking. (note: Towards the End Keep an Eye on It So It Doesn't Burn). When the Jam Reaches 215 Degrees F (102 Degrees C) on a Candy Thermometer, Remove the Chilled Plate from the Freezer and Spoon a Little Jam Onto It. |

Return the Plate to the Freezer Until the Jam Is Cold. Test It For Doneness (my Note: Prod It With Your Finger, If It Seems to Be Developing a Surface Skin and Solidifying It Is Ready), and If the Jam Is Still Too Runny, Continue Cooking It. Otherwise Remove Pot from Heat. |

This Will Produce 2 Pints or 4 Half-Pints Worth of Jam That Can Be Processed Via Water-Bath Canner. Fill Jars to 1/2" Below the Rim to Allow For Appropriate Headspace. Process the Jars in the Canner For 15 Minutes. |
