Tomato Jam
1 lb tomatoes
1/2 c brown sugar
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.
