Hello Friends! This is truly one of the fastest (and delicious) ways to can your tomatoes this season when you're short on time. If you haven't had a chance to check out my blueberry jam, whew, it's a must-find it here: tinyurl.com/m8yx8t2m. Thank you for stopping by my kitchen! xoxo, Cassandra :)

aaaaaaaaannnd subbed. awesome work! so many recipe sites and channels tend to tell me a life story before i get to their recipe. you were straight to the point, and that quiche looks absolutely amazing!!!!!

We have an abundance of garden tomatoes right now. I've been eyeing the tomato jam recipe in the Ball canning book which looks a lot like your recipe here, but we just weren't sure what to do with tomato jam. That's how I found your channel! Thank you for demonstrating! :)

Omg. The quiche! I can’t wait to try! 😍🙏

You are an inspiration. Thank you Cassandra 😊

This is so delicious. I made some today with cherry tomatoes. I had so many! I love the sweet and savory taste of it.

You rock girl!! Looking forward to meeting you someday! Can't believe we live sooo close and we never met!

Production is wonderful as always! Looks fantastic!

Hey Hey

I followed your recipe summer of 2022 and made a batch of the tomato jam. I then sort of forgot about it because I wasn’t sure how to use it!! Well… I just put it in cabbage, onion, bacon and sausage mixture and no words!! It was amazing!!

I've never heard of tomato jam but it looks amazing and now I need to try it! I had about 7 tomatoes I needed to use and ended up making a delicious fresh tomato soup the other night. I love finding new ways to use my small harvest

Fresh tomato soup can’t be beat! I’m right there with you on the small harvests, and like you I mostly enjoy the larger veggies growing on my balcony garden fresh and use my herbs to season what I can. I call it a jam but the recipe is also known as a preserve, either name is delicious. Enjoy! And happy growing!

What a lifesaver to have fast food without the mark up. Always good to see you!

Oh yeah! My mom made grandmas tomato Jam all of the time and I make it now. Try on raisin bread with peanut butter. Of course her recipe was only tomatoes, sugar and cinnamon stick so it was for toast and sandwiches. This one looks great too!

I’ll be making this for sure this year… sunk 130 tomato plants in this year as a new market gardener and boy am I excited for new to me recipes! Thanks Cassandra.

Wow! Great ideas. Thank YOU for sharing that we can use the "whole" tomato. There is nothing wrong with the seeds, pulp or skin. It's like throwing away good parts of any meal. If anything, if anyone decides not to use those parts they can dry them (dehydrate or freeze dry them and powder them for adding to the recipe. I am very fortunate to find a few flats of canning jars at Nellis AFB in the commissary. They keep the price low. Love, Love, Love these recipes.

I can’t wait to make tomato jam. I have tomatoes coming out of my ears and I’ve already canned a ton of marinara, salsa and tomato sauce. I needed something else to do with them and this is perfect. It’s getting colder so I harvested all the vines and am waiting for the tomatoes to ripen then I’ll get going

We have a local restaurant in our town that uses tomato jam as the base for one of their delicious pizzas. This pizza also has country ham, onions and blue cheese. It’s my favorite non homemade pizza. I have some late tomatoes that I now know what I’ll be making. ❤

Hello again, Victoria! Go for it. Think of this recipe as savory sweet stewed tomatoes. A fellow canner here on the channel shared that depending on the variety (he used large tomatoes whereas I used small Roma’s) it may longer for the water content to reduce down to what you like. But that’s the thing, it’s what you like. Before you actually use jars and lids make sure you “lick the spoon” as I like to say. If it’s not your jam, freeze it or purée it for tomato soup. I’d love to hear your feedback! Full recipe is on the blog! It’s so nice to e-meet you!

Hey Cassandra! I think your channel is great and that you are a natural at making these videos. Your videos are often therapeutic sessions of calm and inspiration, in what is often a crazy world. I’ve recommended your channel to others. One really quick question (unless I missed it) is that it looks like you are using 8oz jars for this recipe, correct? It is sometimes hard to tell because I can’t get Mason brand jars around here so can’t match the shape for that “aha!”visual recognition. I think you should have 100x the amount of subscribers and that it will happen as people discover you. (And yeah, I’m a guy,). Edited to add: I just made this recipe from home-grown Roma tomatoes a neighbor gave me. They gave off a lot of water, so just FYI, the actual simmer to achieve a glaze consistency turned out to be 2 hours. It is an easy-as-pie recipe. It just took much longer than expected. But it tastes wonderful!

Hi Joe! It’s been an incredibly busy work week for me so I apologize for the delay! Thank you so much for introducing yourself and your compliments! I’m feel in love with canning a few years ago and it’s been my saving grace from yes a very crazy world! It’s nice to finally feel like I have other canning friends, like you. You totally bring up a good point and I edited my blog tin note that depending on the tomato variety simmer time may vary. THANK YOU for this feedback. I’m so glad I have a blog that I can edit and incorporate feedback. Yes, I used both 8 and 4 oz mason jars. For most water bee bath recipes NCHFP recommends not exceeding 8 ounce. Until recently I was nervous about my own jar and lid collection but inventory has finally come back in my area. I hope you can get your hands on some jars soon! And I LOVE it that you’re a guy-it was my dad that got me started with canning whenever he’s here we can together and we talk canning recipes. Canning is for everybody--and especially those of us that love quality food, homemade taste, the incredible value over time of canning and the artistry of a cabinet lined with beautiful glass jars!!! Currently my computer is down (it’s a 10 year old laptop) but I’m ordering a new desktop that should arrive in a week or two. You have brought such joy into my morning! Bless you friend!.

@@BecomingaFarmGirl Hi Cassandra! Thank you for the warm welcome and the smile it brought to my face. I waited a bit to reply so that I would have some items to share with you: (1) I made meatloaf using these tomato preserves + the sweet & spicy onion jam + allspice (and the usual meatloaf ingredients) and it was a huge hit. My guest at dinner said it was the best meatloaf ever. The preserves, onion jam & allspice really upp’d the umami and gave it a middle eastern flair. (2) I have recently experienced seal failures (not sealing and seals popping several weeks later) with Ball lids purchased this year (in packs and on new jars) which is disappointing and frustrating, despite me being meticulous when I can. I am going to write to them (others are complaining about similar issues on KZread and in Facebook groups) but have now ordered Harvest Guard reusable lids/gaskets. I have temporarily lost some trust in Ball. (3) I recently saw an indoor/outdoor vertical growing tower that uses light rights to grow the food indoors, so I thought I would share the product name. It is Lettuce Grow and can be found at lettucegrow.com. It would likely solve that homesteading issue for apartment growers who don’t even have a deck or terrace and for whom a back yard garden is not a possibility. Have a great weekend!

I like that you give recipes to use the jam. Thanks so much. Your shits are beautiful and your voice is pleasant ❤️

Hi, concerning your blueberry jam, I seem to remember a video by you where there were no walnuts in the blueberry jam and you gave 5 suggestions how to use it. One was with a ravioli. I can’t find that video now. If that was you could you pls provide the link?

Hi, I'm very new to canning and was wondering for those of us who do not use sugar will this recipe work with sugar substitutes like allulose or monkfruit? Is there a safe way to make tomato jam without using traditional sugar?

Great recipe! Could I add jalapeños to it?
