Tomato Jam
We like to serve this tomato jam as an accompaniment for grilled lamb burgers or salmon. It is also nice for a bruschetta with soft cheese. I learned a similar version of this recipe from a friend in Kentucky who would make tomato jam when he couldn’t keep up with his cherry tomato plants.
