Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, stirring often, until the tomatoes burst and thicken, for about 10-15 minutes. If at any time the pan becomes dry and the tomatoes begin to burn, add a tablespoon or two more of water and reduce the heat a bit more.

Remove from heat and season with additional salt and pepper, to taste. Cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 10-14 days. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Tomato Selection Magic 🍅Choose ripe, firm cherry tomatoes with deep color for the most concentrated and intense jam flavor. Avoid overripe or mushy tomatoes that can make the jam watery.
- Caramelization Technique 🔥Slowly caramelize shallots and garlic in olive oil before adding tomatoes to build a rich, complex flavor base for your jam. This foundational step elevates the entire preserve.
- Acid Balance Mastery 🍶Use red wine vinegar strategically to brighten the jam's flavor and help with natural pectin development, which ensures a perfect jammy consistency.
- Spice Layer Technique 🌶️Toast smoked paprika and chili powder briefly in the pan before adding liquids to unlock their deeper, more nuanced flavor profiles and reduce raw spice bitterness.
- Reduction Precision 🥄Cook the jam until it reaches a thick, spreadable consistency that parts slightly when you draw a spoon through it, which typically takes 25-35 minutes of gentle simmering.
