Spicy Tomato Jam ( Approx. 1 1/2 cups)
Remember this is a condiment so have some fun with your favorite foods. This is a FRESH perishable product. Enjoy!
Cut in small pieces, 6 to 8 medium size Tomatoes.
Sprinkle equal parts of Salt and Sugar on the tomatoes.
( I invite you to play with other sweeteners besides processed white sugar. I used Coconut Sugar)
Let sit for a few hours, so they can let down their juices.
(Sometimes I do overnight, covered sitting on the counter)
Strain the sugar/salt water into a pan or pot, bring to a simmer, and reduce down until it has thickened to jam consistency. Stir once in awhile.
Add back in to pan the fresh tomatoes, fresh grated Ginger, and a couple of finely chopped Chile Peppers (or cayenne pepper), for heat.
Let simmer until “jam” has reduced to desired consistency.
Taste for salty, sweet & heat. Finish with a fresh grating of ginger root.
Shopping list: Fresh tomatoes, Salt, Sugar, Ginger root, Chile peppers or cayenne pepper, Lemon (always keep one on hand just in case it's hot, squeeze a little juice in to help balance the intensity)
