Easy Homemade Tomato Jam
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ripe tomatoes
- ¾ cup light brown sugar (white sugar is fine too)
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp cayenne (do less if u don’t like heat)
Instructions
- If using grape tomatoes, cut in half. If using larger tomatoes (if you can get ripe Campari tomatoes, those are excellent here) core and roughly chop the tomatoes.
- Combine all ingredients in a large sauté pan. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a gentle boil/hard simmer. Stir occasionally - more as it gets thicker. This can take 1.5 to 2 hours.
- Once it has thickened, remove it from the heat but let it rest for a few minutes in the pan where it will thicken a bit more into a jam consistency. Transfer and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze.
