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.

Is there a substitute for the peaches in this savory tomato jam recipe?

If you do not have peaches on hand for this super simple recipe I would substitute granny smith apples, bosc pears, 4 apricots or even a cup of pineapple. Fresh is preferred but use canned if that is what you have on hand.

What can you serve tomato jam on?

I love to serve tomato jam on crostini with cream cheese but a variety of different cheeses would be good. Also this savory tomato jam can be served alongside sous vide boneless pork chops, roasted chicken, or with curry dishes. I love this recipe more because I can put the jam on top of sandwiches.

How to Store Tomato Jam

Sterilize the jars through a canning process.

When the jam is done, pour it into hot, sterile jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace.

Wipe rims of jars with a dampened clean paper towel; adjust two-piece metal canning lids.

Process 15 minutes in a boiling water bath. Adjust for altitude above 1000 ft.

Remove from water bath and cool completely before storing in a cool place.
