Cut a cross at the bottom of the tomatoes and place them in a bowl of boiling water. When you see the skin of the tomatoes separating from the flesh, turn off the heat and cool the tomatoes fast in ice water.
Peel and chop the tomatoes and place them in the pot in which they were cooked. Add the remaining ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, over medium heat. Boil for 2 to 3 hours until the amount of liquid decreases and the mixture gains the consistency of jam. Remove the cinnamon sticks.
