Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ripe tomatoes, diced (about 4 cups)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar (or honey)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 jalapeño or serrano chile, minced (optional)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, add the diced tomatoes, granulated sugar (or honey), apple cider vinegar, water, minced jalapeño (if using), kosher salt, cinnamon, and cumin. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Cook the Jam: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the mixture to cook uncovered for 60-70 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the tomato jam cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a jar or container. The jam is now ready to serve or refrigerate for later use.
Notes
- Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar or substituting honey for a natural sweetener.
- Jalapeño adds a mild heat; omit or adjust for desired spice level.
- Store tomato jam in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2 weeks.
- This jam complements cheese boards, sandwiches, grilled meats, or as a glaze.
