This savory jam is delicious with my Gluten Free Cheddar Cheese Crackers.
Original Recipe By Ruth Pretty
6 Roma tomatoes (seeded)
5-8 fresh Thai red or green chilies (seeded)
4 garlic cloves
2-3 teaspoons ginger (peeled & roughly chopped)
1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce
1 cup raw honey
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
Method
Note- This is not low carb but a great alternative to store bough savoury jams.
Place the seeded tomatoes, chilies, garlic, ginger and fish sauce in a blender or a food processor and blend to a fine puree.
Place the purèe, honey and vinegar in a non-reactive pot and bring to the boil, stirring often. The consistency at this point will be very runny.
Turn heat down to a medium and simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to release the solids that settle on the bottom.
When it is ready the jam will look much thicker than when it started.
Pour into sterilized jars and seal.
*Note If you do double or tipple the batch, cooking time will be longer. It's all about reducing the jam and evaporating most of the liquid. Practice makes perfect!
