Later drain the water and cool tomatoes a bit. Peel the skin of blanched tomatoes, de seed as much as you can and then chop into fine pieces.
Combine tomatoes, sugar, lemon juice, ginger, red chilli flakes, salt, cinnamon, and cumin in a large, heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer until the mixture reaches a thick, jam like consistency, about half hour.
Cool the jam to room temperature and ladle into sterilised jars.
