Savoury & Sweet Low-Salt Tomato Jam 'Amazing. Very yummy.' 'Delicious! Good strong taste.'Tasters |
The biggest question? How best to use it. The jam is so sensational with home-made bread, cheddar and cucumber, you'll hesitate to return to mass-produced brown pickle.
Tomato Jam is vegan but to satisfy those lusting helplessly after bacon jam, an option for a lower-salt Bacon & Tomato Jam is offered below.
Cost: £2
Makes: 1.5 cups
Ingredients:
125gm/4.5oz sun blush tomatoes, either home-made (frugal) or purchased
1 large onion, finely diced (one cup)
2 cloves garlic, grated
1-2 tbsp olive oil
100 gm fresh tomatoes, core removed and diced (1 med-large)
1 tbsp packed brown sugar
2 tsp white sugar
25 ml maple syrup (or honey for non-vegans)
35ml white vinegar
15ml fresh squeezed orange juice
zest of 1/2 orange
1/2 cup coffee
coarsely crushed black paper
Method:
- Heat med-sized heavy bottomed pan over med heat, add olive oil, onions and garlic; cook stirring until onions are translucent (about 5 mins)
- Stir in diced fresh tomatoes
- Add sugars, maple syrup/honey, vinegar, coffee & orange juice; bring to a boil; allow to bubble 2 strongly mins, scraping up any bits stuck to the pan
- Reduce heat to med-low; simmer at a low bubble until almost all the liquid is gone and the mix is thick - about 20 mins
- Meanwhile, chop sun-blush tomatoes coarsely
- Transfer half the onions and half the sun blush toms to a deep bowl or blender; process roughly (a stick blender does nicely) - aim for an interesting texture not puree
- Pour back into the pan with the rest of the onions; add rest of sun blush toms & mix well
- Season with pepper
- Cool
- Eat within 3 days
Stir in two slices grilled lean back bacon, grease removed with paper towels, and chopped into thin strips.
