Health and fertility benefits of Tomato Ginger Jam

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
1/2 Red Onion, Finely Diced
1 piece (1-inch Size) Ginger, Peeled And Minced
2 cups Fresh Tomatoes, Chopped
1/3 cup Sugar
3 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
1 pinch Cinnamon
1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes
Salt To Taste

Instructions

In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, add oil and red onion. Cook onions for 5 minutes, until soft, stirring often. Add ginger and cook another 2 minutes. You want the onions to be completely soft before you add the tomatoes, but not brown at all—that will change the color of the jam.
Add fresh tomatoes and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, stirring often.
Add sugar and vinegar and a pinch of cinnamon and red pepper flakes (optional). Cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove pan from heat and season to taste with kosher salt. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
