Spicy Peach and Yellow Tomato Jam

Ingredients

  • 4 cups pitted peeled, and chopped yellow peaches
  • 4 cups cored and chopped yellow tomatoes no need to peel or seed
  • 4 teaspoons calcium water
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried red chili flakes
  • juice and zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 cups honey
  • 2 teaspoons Pomona's Pectin

Instructions

  • Prepare a boiling water bath canner and enough jars to hold 3 1/2 pints of product. Place lids in a small saucepan of water and bring to a very low simmer.
  • In a large jam pan, combine the peaches, tomatoes, calcium water, ginger, salt, red chile flakes, and lemon juice and zest. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring regularly, until the mixture has reduced by at least 1/4, at least 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Once the fruit mixture has cooked down sufficiently, stir the pectin powder into the honey and add it to the pan.
  • Stir to combine and let the jam cook at a low boil for another five minutes. Because Pomona's Pectin sets up a little differently, you don't want to cook too much once you've added the pectin powder.
  • Remove jam from the heat and funnel into prepared jars.
  • Wipe rims, apply lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes.
  • When time is up, remove jars from canner and let them cool on a folded kitchen towel.
  • Check seals when jars are cool. Sealed jars can be stored at room temperature. Unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used promptly.
  • This jam is a good one for meats, burgers, and as a dipping sauce for roasted root vegetables.
