Roasted Plum Tomato Jam
TheSlyBear:
Here's a jam that you might want to try. It's easy as pie and once you try it, you'll never want store-bnought jam again.
(You can use blueberries in place of cherries -- both are really good.)
BEAR'S SPICED CHERRY JAM
32 oz frozen cherries
4 T pectin
4 star anise pods, finely ground
10 to 20 grinds fresh nutmeg
2 T lemon juice
3 1/2 oz cider vinegar
2/3 c water
4 c sugar
1. Put fruit in saucepan over medium-low heat. Sprinkle with pectin, star anise, nutmeg, lemon juice and vinegar.
2. Once liquid starts to gather in bottom of pan, increase the heat to high and bring to a boil.
3. Lower heat slightly and boil gently for 5 minutes occasionally mashing mixture.
4. Mash in sugar, add the water and return to a boil until gel stage is reached.
5. Process in hot water bath for 5 minutes.
If you don't want to do the canning part, just keep the jam in the fridge, but use it up in a month or two.
This is a variation of an Alton Brown recipe that improves (I think) on the original.

Here's a picture of the chile mash that went into the jam.
Yes, I wear gloves when handling it! :XX

Naw, I'm not a formally trained chef -- just an enthusiastic home cook.
Although my first partner (of 12 years) was a chef and I learned a lot from him.
