Cherry Tomato Jam
Description
This jam blends halved or quartered cherry tomatoes with brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, salt, and red chili flakes in a pot brought to a boil then reduced to a simmer. The tomatoes cook down over about 35 minutes until soft and the mixture thickens. Dried rosemary and chives are added near the end for herbal aroma and flavor. Simmering continues for a final 5 minutes to achieve a thick jam-like texture.
The end result balances sweet, tart, and spicy notes, with tomato umami and herbal hints. Typical uses might include spreading on bread, serving alongside meats and cheeses, or as a flavorful accompaniment to dishes that benefit from a bright, spicy jam.
