    Do you think this would be great with hot peppers added to it? Hot and sweet? Made this receipe years ago and it was good but think it would be wonderful if it's hot! What do you think?

    wow! Have just made this with the glut of tomatoes from the garden. Was looking for a recipe that didn't have spices in and this one popped up. Had tomato jam on a recent holiday in Italy served with cheese it goes really well with riccota cheese...this one is as good as the one I had over there!

    Sure. Why not? Try a sample on a cracker or piece of bread to get a feel for the taste and see what you think it would be good with. Everybodys tastes are different. I use it anywhere I would use regular jam.

    Do you use Tomato Jam on the same things you would use regular jam on? I have never heard of it before!

    After boiling the pulp for 10 minutes you will have to strain the pulp because a lot of juice will have rendered out of the pulp. You should have fairly non-juicy pulp. This recipe says it will make 4 half pint jars. It made 6 for me. I probably didn’t let enough of the juice strain out.

    PERSONAL NOTE: I used 2T more lemon juice in the mix because of an aside about the recipe. Don’t know if the recipe really needed the extra juice or not. I didn’t want my first attempt to fail to jell. Maybe someone else can make this recipe strictly by the instructions and report back. This batch of jelly will last me for a while. I don’t eat jelly much. It’s more for mother’s sweet tooth. Wait a minute! She’s got dentures! Going to have to change that saying.
