Turn Extra Tomatoes Into Jam

Do you have leftover tomatoes and you’re not sure what to do with them? Try making a homemade tomato jam. Tomatoes have been super popular at my farmers market nearby, so I’ve fallen guilty of buying a ton and then letting them sit for longer than I normally would. Luckily, I was able to get inspo from Amanda Hester’s tomato jam recipe. We start by cutting up some heirloom tomatoes to put in a pot. And I’m adding in some lemon zest, salt, cumin, cinnamon, red chili flakes, and sugar. That’s all you need. And we just let the mixture come to a boil. We turn down the heat and continue checking on the mixture and stirring for about an hour. So, while it seems like a lot in this pot, it cooks down and thickens significantly thanks to the pectatonin in the tomatoes. Like other jams, I’ll then add it to a jar and let it cool fully before using. You can use the jam for anything, like on burgers or crackers, but something I’ve really enjoyed lately is putting it on butter toast with avocado, the jam, and then an egg with salt and pepper. It makes for the perfect condiment to elevate any dish. I hope you give this a try with those tomatoes that have been staring at you for the last week or
