Tomato Jam



Tomato Jam


This recipe from Suburban Soapbox is very tasty! 
It can be on the spicer side so if you aren't a fan of spicy,
 I would omit the cayenne and cut the cloves in 1/2
It would be a great topper to cream cheese on crackers



  • 2 lbs ripe tomatoes cored and chopped
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated or minced ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  •  teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne


  • Mix all ingredients in a saucepan, bringing it to a boil 
  • Make sure to stir frequently to prevent the bottom from burning.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened to the consistency of jam. 
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
