[Slynito]

Roasted Plum Tomato Jam

ingredients:

2 pounds plum tomatoes (cut in half)
3 garlic cloves (sliced thinly)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 sprig rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
In a large bowl, toss the tomato halves with all the ingredients. Put tomatoes on sheet pan, cut side up.
Roast tomatoes for 2 hours, or until they are shriveled and slightly brown. Let cool until cool enough to handle. Remove skins. Place tomatoes in a stainless steel, or ceramic pot, and mash.Then cook on low heat until the mixture reduces to a jam-like consistency. This step may be done up to one week ahead.

Sounds good!

It is good on a sandwich when you want a tomato flavor added. It looks easy to make and I'm going to try to make it when I have spare time.

[TheSlyBear]

Sounds good! I'll have to give it a try.

[Slynito]

I had you in mind when I posted and was hoping that you would whip it up, Chef SlyBear.

I'll have some cooking time available next week, I think. This sounds very yummy.

Hey Bear; I threw it together this morning and it ain't to bad. I used fresh herbs 'n' garlic, hit it with more sugar and a big shot of Red Rooster. Not the worst thing I ever cooked, pretty good. Now what can I put it on, hummmm?

 

[TheSlyBear]

Sandwiches seems a natural. Would have to taste it to think of other uses. Dressing pasta (I don't like a lot of gloppy sauce), for example, if it's not too sweet. As a bruschetta topping, perhaps?

Or, if it's yummy enough, just eat it out of the jar!

My thoughts when I saw this was, perfect for a boiled beef brisket, like that served at Tujague's Restaurant.

Looks like it would be good over some warm brie cheese and a either toasted french bread or toasted sourdough bread.

Thanx y'all... some excellent suggestions. How about a breakfast burrito? Just had one and it was even better with the 'Mater Jam.

I love sweet and hot!

Going to be doing some canning this weekend and next few with the veggies from my garden, BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES.SWEET & HOT PEPPER RELISH,SPICY PICKLED GREEN BEANS,BEETS,SALSA,MY OWN HOT SAUCE,and on and on,Its something I always wanted to try but never got around to it but since I went Vegetarian back in January my Vegan sister is going to show me the way.So I will be sure to throw your recipe in the mix.Thanks  Slynito.

Home canning is a great skill to have. Nothing beats jams and jellies that you make yourself.

One of my specialities is my Nuclear Napalm hot pepper jelly that I make from chiles I grow on the back patio.



justtom, I'd be very interested in some of your recipes if you're inclined to share!

[Slynito]

Man, that is some beautiful jelly...Nuclear Napalm the has an ominous sound. The Tomato Jam won't be clear like jelly, it's a little different. Good luck!
