Tomato Jam???

Yep, you read it right.  Jam.  As in a derivative of jelly.  Out of tomatoes.  Not kidding.

So stick with me here.  

Sweet Sarah and I had dinner at our local Peachtree Tavern the other night.  And in sweet, southern fashion they were serving seasonal fried green tomatoes.  They were heavenly.  Cooked perfectly, just like my grandma used to make.  But what really put these babies over the top?  A dollop of tomato jam.  

I had never had tomato jam before, so I was curious as to what type of flavor it would have.  It was the perfect mix of sweet and savory.  I knew I needed to figure out how to make this goodness.

After a little research and reviewing of recipes, I learned that this jam is best made with season ending tomatoes.  Once I found a recipe, down to the farmers market we went to buy some tomatoes.  

I used this recipe which I found on Pinterest.

We have been finding all kind of uses for it.  Grilled cheese, apple tomato jam sandwiches.  Pulled pork sandwiches.  I even made little danishes.  Crescent rolls from the pack, a schmear of tomato jam and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.  Delish!
