Tomato Jam

Tomato Jam is a fantastic way to use ripe tomatoes. The natural sweetness of tomatoes makes a great jam that’s awesome on things like avocado toast or with a charcuterie board. My son loves to smear some on his grilled cheese sandwiches. It’s a simple way to create a versatile, flavorful, and often unexpected condiment that can enhance a wide variety of dishes and capture the essence of ripe tomatoes in a jar.
