💭 Why you’ll love this recipe
Great use for summer tomatoes. Summer tomatoes are the gift that keeps on giving. But if you’ve made all the Caprese salads in the world and you’re sick of making passata or confit, this is the way to go!Limited hands-on prep time. Some people like taking the peels off, but I think they add texture and nutrition! This tomato miso jam requires limited hands-on preparation, making it the perfect weekend activity! Super versatile. I love slathering this on toast, on bruschetta, on pasta, on tacos, honestly, it’s such a versatile condiment!
📋 Ingredients and notes
You’ll need fresh summer tomatoes, miso paste, habanero peppers, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, cumin and apple cider vinegar.
Notes and Variations
Types of summer tomatoes: You can use almost any type of summer tomato. I used Sungold cherry tomatoes and Cherokee Purples. The two characteristics to watch out - sweetness and water content. If your tomatoes are not sweet, you could increase the sugar content. If your tomatoes are naturally too watery, you might consider coring them. Spice tolerance: I used two habanero peppers since we love a good spicy note in our jams. However, you can swap this with red chili flakes, jalapeno peppers, or leave it out altogether!
📖 Step-by-step instructions
This recipe is going to blow your mind with how easy it is. You literally wash the tomatoes, chop them up if they’re large, throw them in a skillet or sauce pan along with the other ingredients, and then let them cook down for about 2 hours on low-medium heat. So, with almost no active time, no canning or pectin, tomato jam is done!
🍴 Serving and storage suggestions
Tomato jam stores well in the fridge in an airtight container for about two weeks. But honestly, it never lasts that long in my house! I don’t recommend freezing the jam because I find it gets clumpy and then once, thawed, very crystalline. If you have a ton of tomatoes and want to freeze it, I suggest making tomato passata instead!
