Both the cooked tomato and the oil render the fruit's lycopene more easily absorbed by the body. Serve this tomato marmalade as a condiment with roasted lamb or chicken, or as a sandwich spread.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup finely chopped onion

1 tablespoon minced garlic

7 cups chopped seeded tomato (about 3 pounds)

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

3 tablespoons molasses

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt, divided

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion to pan; cook 4 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Add tomato; cook 4 minutes. Stir in sugar and next 6 ingredients (through cloves) and 1/4 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until mixture thickens and is reduced to 2 1/2 cups (about 65 minutes). Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
