Ingredients Galore

Here’s what you’ll need to unleash the spicy tomato magic:

  • 2 pounds ripe tomatoes (the juicier, the better)
  • 1 cup sugar (for balancing that spiciness)
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (the tangy twist)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust according to your heat tolerance)
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (for that zing!)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (because garlic makes everything better)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (yes, really! It’s a secret ingredient)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (a little kick)

Let’s Cook It Up!

Now that we’re all prepped and ready, let’s shuffle into the kitchen and whip this up:

  1. First, finely chop those tomatoes, because no one likes a chunky jam — this isn’t a salsa party!
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped tomatoes, sugar, vinegar, salt, red pepper flakes, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, and black pepper.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Watch it bubble, because you want it to simmer like it’s got a story to tell!
  4. Once boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer away for about 1 hour. Yes, an hour! Go binge a show or dance around the kitchen! Just keep an eye on it. You want it thick and jammy.
  5. After an hour, you can taste it to see if it needs a little extra zing! Adjust your spices according to your fiery preferences.
  6. Now, it’s time to jar up your epic creation! Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars while it’s still warm, seal them, and let them cool at room temperature.
  7. Once cooled, you can store them in the fridge or gift them to your spice-loving friends (if you’re feeling generous)!

And there you have it—your very own Spicy Tomato Jam! Spread it on toast, dollop it on meats, or enjoy it straight out of the jar (no judgment here!). Get ready to impress your taste buds and your guests. Happy cooking!
