Recipe Notes
*If preparing ahead, place in a non-reactive container and cover tightly for up to two days.
*Recipe is very easily doubled or tripled.
*As noted above, this tomato jam is great for a variety of uses. Serve with crackers, cheeses and meats. Enjoy as a sandwich spread or as an alternative to ketchup on your favorite burgers, or spoon it up with fried cheese curds.
*For a more sauce-like consistency, use an immersion blender, food processor or blender to “cream” the ingredients after cooking.
