Tomato Jam

My CSA share has been full of tomatoes lately. And as much as I love tomatoes, I’m even having trouble getting through them all! Sounds like a perfect excuse to make some Tomato Jam!

If you’ve never tasted tomato jam before, it is quite the tasty little condiment! It works so nicely with grilled meats; I love it slathered on a burger instead of using ketchup.

This Tomato Jam recipe, adapted from a Mark Bittman recipe, has a wonderful spice profile and a nice amount of citrus to deliver a not-too-sweet, flavorful condiment.

Ingredients: (makes about 1 cup; multiply as desired)

  • 1½ pounds ripe tomatoes, cored and coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup sugar
  • the juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
