Ingredients
- 2 pounds Roma tomatoes
- 2 medium vidalia onions
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup dark brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger fresh, finely grated
- 4 dried Fresno chiles crushed, more or less to taste
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- With a paring knife, cut the core out of the tomatoes. Cut each tomato in half lengthwise and place them cut side down onto a rimmed, shallow baking pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes. Let the tomatoes cool. Gently remove the skins, they will peel right off. Roughly chop the roasted tomatoes into ½ inch pieces.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, melt the butter in a medium sized stainless steel saucepan. Peel and slice the onions into thin rings.
- Add the onions to the butter and stir. Cook on low, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes until the onions are soft and golden brown.
- Stir the tomatoes, brown sugar, vinegar and all spices into the onions. Heat the tomato jam mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat and simmer on low for 1 hour or more, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Cook until the mixture is rich, thick and resembles the consistency of jam.
- Remove from heat and store in a sealed jar. If not using immediately, refrigerate.
