I had too many tomatoes this year so I decided to use them in this recipe, it turned out to be a nice flavour spicy tomato jam. The only thing is that I dobled the recipe and reduced the mix until it had a jam consistency and it didn't fill 7 pints, so... don't spect much from 3lbs of tomatoes.

This is kind of bland. I followed the recipe exactly, and really don't care for it at all. If I planned to make it again, I would definitely add more sugar and probably some cinnamon and nutmeg too. I expected it to be more like a relish, but it ended up tasting not spicy enough for a relish, and not sweet enough for a jam. I have to say I was somewhat disappointed.

I love this! However, I made a few changes which I think made it better and will help clarify the process. Instead of weighing the tomatoes, I used 12 cups of diced tomatoes, mostly because with less, the cup of vinegar I added to only 8 cups was way too vinegary for my taste. I used only one cup of brown sugar, left out the cayenne and added cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. I cooked it down for 2 hours and canned 3 pints. The leftover half pint tasted great on fresh bread. I'll be making lots of this - it's absolutely delicious!

I had never heard of tomato jam before a friend mentioned it last year. Found myself with way too many grape tomatoes some months ago and decided to try a few tomato jam recipes. This one is a little too spicy for my tongue , but won a BLUE RIBBON at the State Fair this year. And my hubby & guests like it. There is no arguing with that kind of success!

This was my first attempt at canning, so I followed the recipe to the letter. Awesome flavor. The only reason I'm giving fewer than five stars is because my yield was only 4 half-pint jars instead of 8 (I may have cooked it down too much.) I'll definitely make it again!
