Tomato jam is a versatile almost habit-forming spread. Once you start cooking and tasting it, you won’t know what you did before it. You will want to eat it on everything!
When I first heard of tomato jam I thought it sounded crazy. Who would want to eat that? I actually didn’t try it for years due to my disbelief that it would taste good. Emmaline, on the other hand, has eaten tomato jams for years and knew their value. Tomato Jam is a pantry good that she made with her grandmother on her father’s side. Even though it took a while, I finally came around to trying Tomato Jam so we could have a recipe for it in our tomato series. Once I made this Tomato Jam I was pleasantly surprised at the results. I have to admit that I still prefer a good sweet berry jam on my toast but tomato jam is fabulous for using with BBQ sauce as a marinade for meat, or as Emmaline likes it … on just about everything.
This recipe makes approximately 5 half-pints of Tomato Jam.
Ingredients:
- 6 pounds quartered Tomatoes
- 3.5 c Sugar
- 6 tbsp Pectin
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Lemon Peel
- 1/2 tsp Salt
