PRESERVES In a wide preserving pan boil the sugar and
water to a syrup. Add the tomatoes, skinned and
sliced. Boil steadily, stirring fairly often, for
about 35 minutes. Put in the vanilla bean (vanilla
essence will not do). Cook for approximately 10-15
minutes longer, or until setting point is reached.
Remove the vanilla pod, skim the jam, and let it cool
for a few minutes before turning it into small jars.

The cookbook says this is "particularly good when
eaten in the French way, as a sweet, with fresh cream
cheese or plain pouring cream."
