I had a punnet of cherry tomatoes left over from a blog project, and wondered what to do with them. I am not a person who will eat cherry tomatoes as a snack, and it is definitely not salad weather here at the moment. As I also had a lonely chilli in the fridge, I thought that it would be wonderful to make some jam with the cherry tomatoes and chillis.
After a quick search, I found this recipe for cherry tomato and sweet chilli jam. I loved how super easy it was to make, and I just reduced the proportions to match the quantity of tomatoes that I had.
The end result was a lovely jam to eat with cheese and crackers (as the recipe suggests), or to serve with beef or other meats, or even spread on a sandwich with vegetable or meat fillings.
While I was out in the garden today I actually started to worry about how I was going to use all the tomatoes that are just a promise in a flower at the moment. I absolutely LOVE the notion of making Cherry Tomato and Sweet Chili Jam, Gaye! I will definitely be checking out that recipe.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing, Gaye...Sending Salad weather your way, lol...
I always think I will eat cherry tomatoes as a snack, and then somehow they get overlooked in favour of other snacks (you can guess what type!) and at the end of the week I make myself eat the whole punnet in two sittings. It's not ideal. This jam will be a great alternative!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds delicious and really versatile too! :D
ReplyDeleteLove this little jam, I bet it is delicious. I make a roasted tomato, garlic and olive oil and that is wonderful, will try this! Happy week-end to you!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you too!
DeleteOkay, this is one I am going to make today...yes, today! This looks fabulous and I can think of a million uses for cherry tomato and sweet chili jam. Thank you. Again, thank you. :-)
