Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound Creole tomatoes -- (about 3 medium)
1/2 cup dark brown sugar -- packed
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
4 whole cloves
1 stick cinnamon -- (1 inch)
1 bay leaf
1 sprig fresh thyme
3 tablespoons sherry (or red wine) vinegar
Juice of 1 lime
Optional step: Cut an X on the bottom of the tomatoes and plunge them into a pot of boiling water for 3 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle, and peel.
Roughly chop and put the tomatoes, with their juices, into a saucepan with remaining ingredients.
Over medium-low heat, stir gently and occasionally until almost all moisture evaporates and mixture thickens into a jam-like consistency, 45 minutes to an hour.
Remove bay leaf, thyme sprig and cinnamon stick. Ladle into a clean jar or refrigerator container. Refrigerate for up to 1 month.
Makes 1 cup (8 two-tablespoon servings)
Tomato jam, a cross between marmalade and ketchup, has been the rage on goat cheese (or any kind of cheese) and sandwiches (try it on turkey burgers) since Mark Bittman published a recipe for it in The New York Times a few years ago. The Creole tomato version I created is sweet-tart with a spicy little back burn. If you increase the recipe, the simmering time will increase, too.
