Shopping List
- 3/4 pound fresh roma tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 33333333/100000000 cup cane and/or coconut sugar
- 4 tablespoons red onion or shallot, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne powder
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine all ingredients in a heavy saucepan. Turn up the heat to medium-high, stirring often. Once the mixture comes to a low boil, turn down the heat to medium and bring to a simmer.
- Step 2: Simmer the tomato mixture, uncovered, until it becomes thick and jam-like. This process will take 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the water content of the tomatoes. Stir the jam every 10 minutes or so to ensure nothing is sticking to the bottom. As the jam thickens, you will need to stir the pot more frequently. Once the jam has thickened to you liking, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool fully.
- Serve: Store in the refrigerator and spread on crackers, toasts, and more.
