Heirloom Tomato Jam

If you’ve never had tomato jam, the idea of it might seem foreign—they are after all more known for their savory applications. That being said, you have to remember, tomatoes are a fruit and as such are gifted with a ton of natural sweetness.  That sweetness, along with the bumper crops we receive throughout the long summers in NC makes them perfect candidates’ summer-time preserving.  This jam combines heirloom tomatoes with citrus, spice, salt and sugar to produce a perfect time-capsule of summer.  Sweet and savory, bright, sharp and bold—this jam packs just enough of everything to elevate everything it touches.
