Ingredients
- 1 can (8 ounce) tomatoes (chopped or diced)
- 2 teaspoons shallots, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon crystallized ginger (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
How to Make
-
Step 1: Jam ... Add all the ingredients to a heavy pot. I like to use a potato masher, to break down the tomatoes a bit. Then, bring the mix to a light boil, constantly stirring. Cook just a couple of minutes; then, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 1-1 1/2 hours (1 1/2 hrs for me), until the consistency is thick - like jam. You do need to stir it now and then ... don't forget about it. You do not want it to burn.
-
Step 2: Remove from the heat to cool. Once completely cooled, transfer to a jar or ziploc type of container and refrigerate. As mentioned, it will last a couple of weeks in the refrigerator. This makes about 1 cup of jam. Perfect to make for a party.

Step 3: Serve and ENJOY! ... As mentioned. A perfect condiment for so many different dishes.
