Easy Tomato Jam Recipe for Overripe Tomatoes

What do you do when you have six overripe tomatoes? You make this easy tomato jam recipe.

Soft tomatoes still hold deep flavor. Cube them. Pair them with onions, mushrooms, apple cider vinegar, soya sauce, and Galilee Green Raw Honey. Sauté the onions in Galilee Green Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Then simmer everything until it turns glossy and thick.

This easy tomato jam recipe is not a sweet breakfast spread. It is a savory-sweet topping. We ladled it over broiled burgers on a bed of cabbage. Avocado, sprouts, pickle, and olives rounded out the plate. What’s not to love?

Ripe tomatoes waste easily. This method rescues them in one pan. You skip peeling. You skip hours of candy-like cooking. Tapioca flour mixed with water thickens the jam in minutes.

Galilee Green Extra Virgin Olive Oil gives the onions a rich start. Galilee Green Raw Honey balances the vinegar and soy. The result tastes bright, a little salty, and a little sweet.

Serve this jam on burgers, grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or toast. It also works as a side with olives and avocado, just as we plated it.
