Tomato Jam ~

I had that abundance of tomatoes I posted about earlier that my friend and neighbor brought me. What a blessing!  I used the tomatoes in a number of things and this is a new recipe I two small batches; I love it!  Below is with Water Biscuits.  Who would have thought Tomato Jam - I guess I didn't - well it is a fruit and I so happy I found the recipe here.  What I liked about this jam it, to me, has an Indian flavor to it.  Yum

Tomato Jam
 Super Easy

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb Ripe Tomatoes
1 cup Sugar
2 Tbsp freshly squeezed Lime Juice
1 tsp grated fresh Ginger - I added a little extra
1 tsp ground Cumin
1/4 tsp ground Cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground Cloves
1 tsp Salt
1 fresh Jalapeno Pepper make sure it is medium - hot, diced fine

1.  Prepare all ingredients and combine in a heavy sauce pan.  Bring up to a simmer and simmer for 1 - 1 1/2 hours until it cooks down and thickens.

2.  Spoon the thickened jam into canning jars and either store in the refrigerator or follow safe canning procedures to process.

I didn't can and just let it cool and placed in clean sterile jars.

The jam goes great with the Gluten Free Saltines I made too!
