Love this delicious and super-easy jam in the summer months -- slightly spicy kick (from cumin, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon, and a jalapeno or red pepper flakes to taste if desired) makes this a great jam for use on cornbread or cornmeal muffins -- color contrast with the muffins makes for a really pretty presentation as well. Have made with both cherry tomatoes and large yellow tomatoes -- both versions were great. Bittman recommends using Roma tomatoes but I use whatever I have on hand and have never been disappointed.
Next up -- try with green tomatoes.
This jam is just great with the cheese biscotti -- have made both cheddar and pepperjack versions and both are great with this jam.
