Tomatoes are coming out of my eyeballs!!!

I mean seriously? I wanted the garden to do well, but y’all this is crazy! I dare to say I have had enough! I can’t even think about a tomato sandwich at the moment! So, I am getting creative and am making things. I took a huge bowl of cherry tomatoes and made TOMATO JAM! Yes, it sounds odd, I know but it is really quit savory, something that makes an awesome addition to your next charcuterie platter or served with crusty bread and roasted chicken. I have been OBSESSED with finding the perfect recipe for this after hearing it mentioned and finally found a starting point when I found White on Rice Couple. Thank-you for getting me started.

Tomato Jam
1 lb tomatoes
1/2 c brown sugar
4 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
3 tsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 lime, squeezed
1 Tb fresh thyme

Place all ing in a non-stick pot and bring to a boil reduce down to a simmer and let go for about a
hour. It will thicken. I had enough to taste yum-eeeee and to fill to small jelly jars. I think this will be
a wonderful addition to my Holiday Food Baskets!!

Tomato Stew/Soup Starter

This is a really easy way to use your extra tomatoes without the hassle or confusion as to where to
store all those jars! I use quart size freezer bags and each bag is a wonderful start to my Homemade
Veggie Soup (Tori Darlin’s Recipe will share later!)

6-8 tomatoes, peeled, cored & seeds removed
2 stalks celery, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 med onion, diced
1 bayleaf
3 Tb sugar
2 Tb red wine vinegar
1 cup chicken broth (or whatever you have on hand)
Toss everything in your good ole crockpot and let simmer on low for about 8hrs.

What’s your go to tomato filled recipes?
