Thick and smokey, sweet and tangy - this jam could be classified as a sweet BBQ sauce!
Although the recipe calls for orange tomatoes (and that is what I used), I think this would work just as well with the standard red tomato.
To get the jam to gel, I really had to cook it down a lot. To fit this into my schedule, this jam was prepared on three consecutive evenings - and refrigerated in between. The result is spectacular. Thick, flavorful, and a deep color.
How to use? This is often a problem for me, so this morning I tried toast, spread with this jam, and topped with an egg (over-easy, shown in picture 2). The result was spectacular. The two were an amazing complement.
Variation - I followed the recipe with only one exception, except instead of adding the cayenne pepper, I tripled the ginger.
