How to Make Tomato Ginger Jam
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped shallot, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shallot is softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1 cup granulated sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until completely dissolved.
- Add 4 cups peeled and chopped ripe tomatoes (about 2 pounds). Simmer over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the jam has thickened to your desired consistency, about 10-15 minutes. The jam should coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and let the jam cool completely to room temperature.
- Once cooled, stir in 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
- (Optional) For an even smoother jam, carefully blend a portion (or all) of the jam with an immersion blender after cooling before adding the lime juice and cilantro.
