Description
A delightful and unique jam that combines the sweetness of cherry tomatoes with a spicy kick, perfect for spreading or as a condiment.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 5 cups (4 pints) cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar (preferably organic)
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and sauté, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, until softened.
- Add the garlic and spices, stir, and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add remaining ingredients, and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce to low heat, and cook, stirring occasionally for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally so the jam does not stick.
- Once the jam is thickened and jammy, remove the thyme sprigs and discard.
- Allow to cool, then store in airtight glass jar(s) in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks!
Notes
- For a sweeter jam, adjust sugar to taste.
- Smoked paprika adds depth; feel free to use regular paprika if not available.
