  "This recipe has been in the family since my great grandmother begun
  making it as a frugal jam for her family. Generations of
  Loewen/Howard women have made it as a mainstay of family breakfasts.
  My father particularly enjoyed the jam, but with a family of three
  sons, there seemed to be no one to carry on the tradition. That
  changed however, when my brother presented my father with a year's
  supply of tomato jam one Christmas. These are, after all, the 90s."
  
  Halve and seed orange and lemon. In food processir, finely shop fruit
  with rind. Transfer to heavy saucepan; add tomatoes and bring to a
  boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until rind is tender.
  Stir in pectin. Return to boil; boil for 1 minute, stirring. Stir in
  sugar; bring to a full rolling boil. Boil, stirring, for 1 minute.
  Remove from heat and skim off foam. Pour into hot sterlized jars,
  leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal jars; process in boiling water bath
  for 10 minutes. Store in cool, dark, dry place. MAKES: ABOUT 5 CUPS
