How to Make Sweet And Savory Tomato Jam

  1. Prepare: Sterilize three half-pint jars, lids, and bands. Keep them immersed in hot water until ready to use.
  2. Combine: In a large saucepan, combine the ingredients: 2 lbs. tomatoes (roughly chopped), 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 1 cup brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. ground coriander, 1 tsp. ground cumin, ½ cup white vinegar, 2 tbsp. lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar), 1 tbsp. grated fresh ginger.
  3. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue to cook, stirring frequently.
  4. Reduce and Thicken: Cook for 2 ½ to 3 hours, or until the jam has thickened considerably and reduced to a jam-like consistency. Stir often to prevent sticking.
  5. Fill Jars: Carefully ladle the hot jam into the sterilized jars, leaving about ¼ inch headspace.
  6. Process (Optional for long-term storage): Wipe jar rims clean. Place lids and bands on jars, tightening slightly. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Ensure jars are fully submerged during processing.
  7. Cool and Seal: Remove jars from water bath and let cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Check for a good seal by pressing on the center of each lid. If the lid doesn't flex, it's sealed.
  8. Store: Refrigerate unprocessed jars for up to 1 month. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark, and dry place for up to 1 year.
  9. Enjoy! Spread on your favorite foods and savor the amazing flavor.
