1. Combine the tomatoes, sugars, ginger, lemon, spices, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the vinegar in a mediun-size heavy bottomed saucepan.

2. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of cayenne and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until tomatoes cook down to a jam and the sugars are bubbly and caramelized, 15 - 20 minutes (longer?)
