POW!! Tomato Jam
This is another one of those OMG-MAKE-THIS-YOU-GUYS recipes. My mind is blown by the sweet, spicy, tangy, sour, deeeep flavor of this jam. I cannot imagine anything better than a grilled cheese with a good bit of this secreted inside. (ETA: Yep, best grilled cheese ever.)
I made a triple batch of the Sweet n' Spicy Tomato Jam and used just one of these killer jalapenos in it. That was plenty! I also added the ginger called for in the second recipe because tomatoes and ginger are awesome together.
I was unsure of the acidity of my tomatoes, since they were big lovely sweet heirlooms, rather than paste tomatoes, so I added a good 1/4 cup more bottled lime juice than the recipe called for, and an extra Tbsp. of vinegar, because the bottle was almost empty. The flavor is glorious.
Upon rereading the recipe, I don't know what the heck happened to the sticks of cinnamon I put in there. They must have disintegrated. ??? Huh. The cloves went into a spice bag and I did remember to take them out. :P
Triple the recipe and more than an hour of cooking (probably more like 1.5 hours) gave me 3, 8 oz. jars.
This is the second recipe I've used that didn't call for peeling the fruit (the other is the roasted plum sauce) and I think I would in both cases next time. In this case, they just don't look awesome in the sauce, and in the other, they're a little chewy.
