Sun Gold Tomato Jam

By Jeri Mobley-Arias

This delicious jam is perfect on sandwiches, toast, crackers, and eggs. For those who are looking to put their garden tomatoes to good use–look no further!

The first time I tried tomato jam was on a veggie sandwich and I was instantly hooked! It has a light sweetness and more of a savory body to it. I enjoy making a couple of jars of this summer season goodness, as it is a nice mix from typical fruit jams and spreads. Although most jams call for more sugar, I reduced it for this recipe (from 1 cup to ⅓ cup) to capture more of the tomoato goodness.

Sun Gold Tomato Jam

By Jeri Mobley-Arias

This delicious jam is perfect on sandwiches, toast, crackers, and eggs. For those who are looking to put their garden tomatoes to good use–look no further!

Total Time:
1 hour 25 minutes
Servings:
2 8-ounce jars

Ingredients

1½ pounds sun gold tomato, stems removed
⅓ cup sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
1½ tablespoons ginger, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon pimenton or paprika
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 jalapeño, seeded + finely chopped

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir often.
Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking for about 1 hour or until mixture has thickened and has a jam-like consistency. You’ll know when it’s done when you scrape the spoon along the bottom of the pan and the liquid remains divided, creating a path.
Divide the jam into 2 8-ounce clean, sterilized jars and leave on counter to cool.

Place a lid on both jars and store in refrigerator. Jam will keep for up to two weeks.
