Heirloom Tomato Jam

Adapted from here.
Servings 2 cups
Author Brandon Matzek

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ripe heirloom tomatoes, cored and coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, plus more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 Fresno chile, stemmed, seeded and minced

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a medium heavy bottomed pot (cast iron works best here), stirring to combine. Bring mixture to boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes. The mixture will start out watery but reduce to a jam-like consistency. Stir occasionally to avoid burning the bottom. Season to taste with additional kosher salt and lime juice.
  • Let mixture cool completely then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks.
