Tomato Jam
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large pot, combine the chopped tomatoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the jam simmer uncovered.
-
Cook the jam, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a spreadable consistency. This usually takes about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. To test if the jam is ready, place a small amount on a chilled plate – it should wrinkle and not run when you tip the plate.
-
Once the jam reaches the desired consistency, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly.
-
Carefully transfer the warm jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar. Wipe the rims clean with a damp cloth and secure the lids tightly.
-
Allow the jars to cool to room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator. The jam can be kept in the fridge for up to two weeks.
-
Serve your homemade tomato jam on toast, crostini, sandwiches, or alongside your favorite cheeses and charcuterie.
