I love growing tomatoes every year in our garden, and we get such a big crop of them, especially cherry tomatoes.
My husband mentioned making tomato jam once when he was younger, a sweet version.
A savory version also seemed interesting, so I used some leftover cherry tomatoes and this is what I came up with.

It’s delicious spread on a cracker or even eaten straight out of the jar!
SPICY TOMATO JAM
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 tsp white sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic salt
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
DIRECTIONS
- Put all ingredients in a nonstick saucepan over low heat.
- Stir constantly to keep mixture from sticking.
- Allow jam to reduce while continuing to stir.
- Once all the tomatoes have cooked down and there is no more water left in the saucepan, remove from heat.
- Enjoy on bread, crackers, or on its own! Store remaining jam in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

If only someone would make this for me. While I lounge around. Mmm. Looks delicious.
It’s really easy! Hope you get a chance to make it!
Tomato jam is a favorite on a cheese board and your recipe looks simple and delicious.
Thank you 🙂 I have yet to try it on a cheeseboard myself. That sounds so good!
Ooh sounds delightful, especially if I incorporate it with another dish. Thanks for sharing.
