    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

    Savory Tomato Jam
    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, cider 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. Heat and simmer on low for 1 hour or until the tomato jam had thickened or has a jammy consistency.
    5. 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.
    6. Remove cinnamon stick, cool and serve.
    7. Store in the refrigerator for 1 week.

    Why You'll Love this Tomato Jam Recipe

    Simple Savory Tomato Jam

    You'll love this tangy tomato jam recipe for its perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, making it an ideal condiment for burgers, grilled cheese, and crackers.

    The use of fresh tomatoes enhances the overall taste, and the simplicity of the easy recipe ensures a quick and delicious addition to your culinary repertoire.

    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.

    Can I Use Cherry Tomatoes or Green Tomatoes to Make Tomato Jam?

    Yes, you can use cherry tomatoes, green tomatoes, or a variety of tomatoes, including plum tomatoes, to make the sweet and spicy tomato jam featured in the recipe.

    Feel free to experiment with different tomato varieties to make this jam.

    Is It Possible to Create Ketchup and Other Condiments with this Recipe?

    While the jam is fantastic and offers a perfect recipe for a blend of sweet, sugar, and spices, it may not align with the typical taste and texture of commercial ketchup.

    How to Store Tomato Jam

    1. Sterilize the jars through a canning process.
    2. When the jam is done, pour it 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.
