- Combine all ingredients except zest in a stainless steel saucepan and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until tomatoes have “popped.”
- Raise to high heat, stirring constantly, and reduce the mixture to a thick consistency, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in zest, and cool completely.
- Store in a container with a tight-fitting lid for 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Put it on everything!
