What do you do with all of these beautiful Yellow Cherry Tomatoes?
I wanted to preserve some of this amazing color!
I started looking for recipes and came a cross a lot of Tomato Jam recipes, Yes, Tomato Jam! I know it sounds a little strange..right..I thought so too!
Some recipes were savory others sweet, then I found a couple that called for Lemon and Ginger…I was intrigued enough to give it a try
It took quite a long time to cook off the water from these beauties..
Well, it was worth the effort, this is packed with Flavor!
Let me tell you, what a pleasant surprise !
Now, I want to make more 🙂
Here’s the recipe:
3 lbs of Yellow Cherry Tomatoes
1 1/4 lb of sugar ( more if you like it sweeter)
Grated Rind of 3 Lemons (I used organic)
6-7 Tbsp. Lemon juice or more to taste( revised) did not use enough last time (2016) had to throw away several jars.
1 1/2 inch grated fresh ginger, this could be altered to taste
I follow these cooking instructions for jam from The High Heel Gourmet
then they go into a hot water bath .

If you don’t send me a jar of this for Christmas I won’t love you anymore….!!!
Wow! Looks wonderful!!!
That sounds good! One year I grew SIX Gold Nugget tomato plants. I can’t remember what I was thinking, but I do remember how many of those little tomatoes I had when all was said and done: a LOT! I was so sick of Gold Nugget tomatoes by the end of summer, I swore to never grow another one. But that jam sounds so good … maybe next year I’ll grow just a couple plants 😛
I planted five last year, this year only three, which was more than enough for us! I think it would be worth growing them even if it’s only it for this recipe 😉
