A quick and easy homemade sun-gold tomato jam with ginger and red pepper flakes, offering a sweet, spicy, and tangy spread perfect for toast, cheese boards, and more.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) sun-gold tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup (60ml) apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse about 2 pounds (900g) of sun-gold tomatoes and halve them.
  2. Grate 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger using a fine grater.
  3. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the halved tomatoes, sugar, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and salt.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Simmer for 40-50 minutes until the jam thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Remove from heat and let the jam cool slightly before transferring to clean glass jars.
  7. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

If the jam is too chunky, pulse briefly in a food processor or use an immersion blender to smooth without losing texture. Cook low and slow to prevent burning and allow flavors to meld. Adjust red pepper flakes to taste for desired heat level. Fresh sun-gold tomatoes are preferred for best flavor; yellow cherry tomatoes can be used as a substitute.
