Ripe Tomato Preserves (Select a half peck of nice)

Select a half peck of nice, smooth tomatoes not overripe, scald, peel and weigh. To each pound allow one pound of sugar, juice and rind of half a lemon, and a small piece of ginger root cut into thin slices. Put all this in a porcelain kettle and cook gently three hours. The tomatoes should not lose their shape but should be clear and tender. Put them into tumblers or jars and stand away to cool. When cold, tie as directed in the preceding recipe. Yellow tomatoes may be preserved in the same manner.
