Tomato jam

This is my favourite during childhood. Coming from a small town, buying Jam was unheard in my family in those days and my mother used to prepare especially when we travel and later my mother used to send it to our hostels when we were in college.  Thanks to my brother who told this recipe, I  tried with a happy ending

Sugar - 3/4 kg ( may increase , decrease according to your taste
Cardamom- 7 to 8 pods
Ghee - 3 to 4 tab. Spoon

Peel the skin of the tomatoes and make a puree of it in a mixie along with cardamom
Heat Ghee in a  thick bottomed pan and add the puree and sugar and let it reduce with frequent stirring.
