Tomato Jam or Marmalade
Tomato Jam is a sweet and bright spread made with fresh tomatoes, sugar and spices. It’s great with cheese and crackers, in sandwiches and burgers. Great condiment for entertaining.
Servings: 1 8 oz Jar
Ingredients
- 3-4 vine ripe tomatoes chopped
- 1 shallot chopped
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 each Salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp lemon/lime juice
- ½ tsp all spice
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper or paprika
Instructions
- Wash and chop tomatoes and shallot.
- In a pot on medium heat, add the tomatoes and rest of the ingredients.
- Add ¼ cup water and stir.
- Let it simmer and cook until the mixture looks jammy and thick.
- Once it has reduced and thickened, transfer it to a glass jar.
Notes
- Do not cook it on high heat, it will burn rather than cooking properly.
- You can adjust the amount of sugar as per your liking and tartness of the tomatoes.
- I used all spice but if you don’t have it add ¼ tsp each powdered cinnamon, cumin, cloves and preferably dry ginger powder.
- I have used finely chopped tomatoes, but if you want smoother consistency you can blend the tomatoes and use them.
