This is not your average tomato jam. I thought I would kick it up a bit with fire roasted tomatoes, and other spices to give you a little bit of sweet, a little bit of savory, and a little bit of heat. It is awesome on a grilled cheese sandwich, or as an hors d'oeuvre on a cracker with a smear of cream cheese. Awesome stuff. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
