This tomato jam has a pleasant hit of heat from crushed red pepper and warm undertones from cloves and cinnamon. The brown sugar and lime juice balance out the flavor. Serve this easy tomato jam with cheese or use it as a spread in a wrap or sandwich.

Ingredient Checklist

Directions

Instructions Checklist
  • Combine tomatoes, brown sugar, vinegar, lime zest, lime juice, salt, crushed red pepper, cloves and cinnamon stick in a large nonreactive saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes syrupy, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick and cloves.

  • Working in batches, if needed, pour the tomato mixture into a blender. Secure the lid on the blender and remove the center piece to allow steam to escape. Place a clean towel over the opening. Process until mostly smooth, 5 to 10 seconds. (Use caution when blending hot liquids.) Transfer to a pint-size mason jar. Let stand, uncovered, to cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Screw on the lid and refrigerate until completely cold, about 2 hours.

To make ahead
