Tomato jam with garlic, ginger and chili. A great addition to cheese, crackers or cheese cookies.

You can also use large tomatoes to make tomato and chili jam. However, cherry tomato jam looks and tastes better for me.

Spicy tomato jam can be a great addition to cheese, crackers, cheese cookies or crisps. It goes well with breakfast toasts as well as an omelet with cheese and ham. A sandwich with cottage cheese and tomato jam may also surprise us with its taste.
