Savory Tomato Jam Recipe

When garden tomatoes are in abundance it is time to make homemade tomato jam. This recipe for savory tomato jam has the warmth of the flavors of cinnamon and ginger balanced with the sweetness of peaches. Perfect to be served 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 cranberry chutney, Sriracha Roasted Pumpkin Seeds, Balsamic Roasted Strawberries or seasoned ranch cheese crackers. So many tasty choices!

What is tomato jam?

Tomato jam is a savory and sometimes sweet condiment that has a high sugar content for sticky sweetness. Spices are added to give added depth of flavor to the jam.

Tomato Jam Recipe

• 2 pounds tomatoes, seeded and rough chopped
• 2 medium peaches, pitted and diced
• 1 Medium onion , diced
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 2 tsp coriander seeds toasted
• ½ tsp cumin toasted with the coriander seeds
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 2 inch piece of ginger, freshly grated
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 3 tbsp lemon juice

Savory Tomato Jam Instructions

1. In a dry saute pan, toast the coriander seeds and cumin until they are fragrant. 1-2 minutes
2. Combine the tomatoes, peaches, onion, brown sugar, sugar, salt, toasted coriander seeds, cumin, cinnamon stick, raisins, grated ginger, cinder vinegar and lemon juice in a wide, deep skillet and bring to a boil.
3. Stir every few minutes so the jam does not stick to the bottom of the skillet.
4. Simmer on low for 1 hour or until the tomato jam had thickened.
5. The 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.
6. Remove cinnamon stick, cool and serve.
7. 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 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, as a sandwich topping or with curry dishes.

Tomato Jam Canning Instructions

1. Sterilize canning jars.
2. Pour hot jam into hot, sterile jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace.
3. Wipe rims of jars with a dampened clean paper towel; adjust two-piece metal canning lids.
4. Process 15 minutes in a boiling water bath. Adjust for altitude above 1000 ft.
5. Remove from water bath and cool completely before storing in a cool place.
