Taste
I know, tomato jam sounds like ketchup. It does taste similar to ketchup. But it is chunky and spicy than ketchup with umami notes. The uses of this condiment are similar to ketchup. Tomato jam is also easy to make and way better than homemade ketchup. I am so excited to share it. I love cooked tomatoes! The deep savory taste of tomatoes makes everything so good from stews to pizza to casserole to toast. If you have fresh tomatoes in hand, try this tomatoey chicken karahi, or make tomato ketchup or this tomato paste.
Ingredients
The ingredients are pretty simple and pantry-friendly. Tomato: Use bright red tomatoes that are fully ripe and firm, like roma tomatoes. Sugars: I used a combination of brown and white sugar. Brown sugar has a deep earthy taste. Skip or reduce white sugar if you want the jam to be less sweet. Lemon juice: Add more lemon juice if you like a tangy flavor. You can substitute the lemon juice with white vinegar but use half the measure. Spices: I use chili flakes for heat in the recipe. You may use jalapeno or any other chilies that you like. I used only cumin for flavor, you can use cloves, cinnamon, and similar spices too. Ginger: Ginger tastes very good in this jam. Garlic: You can substitute minced garlic with garlic powder. Onion powder would taste good too.
