Make this recipe and serve it on crostini, alongside roasted pork, beef, chicken or curry dishes.

I will be serving this jam when I put together a charcuterie board. If you are looking for more items to accompany your charcuterie board, I would be sure to add Sriracha Roasted Pumpkin Seeds, Balsamic Roasted Strawberries or seasoned ranch cheese crackers. So many tasty choices!

Easy Tomato Jam Ingredients:

ripe tomatoes - seeded and roughly chopped
peaches - pitted and diced
onion - white or yellow onion, diced
brown sugar
sugar - white sugar
salt - table salt or kosher is what I use
coriander seeds - toasted in a dry pan
cumin
cinnamon stick
raisins - I use traditional dark raisin but golden raisins would be delicious if you have them
piece of ginger, freshly grated
cider vinegar
lemon juice - fresh is best but bottled will work if bottles lemon juice is all you have.

How to Make Tomato Jam

In a dry saute pan, toast the coriander seeds and cumin until they are fragrant, 1-2 minutes
Combine the tomatoes, peaches, onion, brown sugar, sugar, salt, toasted coriander seeds, cumin, cinnamon stick, raisins, grated ginger, cider vinegar, and lemon juice in a wide, deep skillet and bring to a boil.
Stir every few minutes so the jam does not stick to the bottom of the skillet.
Heat and simmer on low for 1 hour or until the tomato jam had thickened or has a jammy consistency.
The homemade jam will be thick enough when the jam does not easily run back together when a spoon is drawn along the bottom of the pan.
Remove cinnamon stick, cool and serve.
Store in the refrigerator for 1 week.
