Red Wine Tomato Jam

Red Wine Jam

I love jams, they could be of any kind, sweet, savory, chili, spicy fruity, chutneys, basically anything that can be cooked into a jam. I was making sandwiches for my family and I wanted an array of different spreads, so this tomato jam came into play the thought of making tomato jam was very exciting for me too. I have read so many times and different versions of tomato jam but i never had the actual opportunity to try to make one until now when my curiosity kicked in. It's a perfect spread for a brunch setting, it's spicy, savory, and not too sweet unlike other jams hence my love for it. I love it because you can even use it alongside food like a side dish and not just as a spread for bread or toast. I eyeballed the ingredients but the below measurements can act as a guide to help you customize your version.

These savory jams dont last long because they are not overly sweet making it easy to eat off the spoon whenever you open the fridge, adding black pepper also increases the level of spicy. Any red wine will do.
