I used to HATE tomatoes as a kid, and it absolutely revolved around taste and texture. Nowadays, I can’t get enough tomatoes, and openly mock those that can’t appreciate a sun-ripened beefy beauty, drizzled with just a little bit of olive oil and flaky sea salt. (I said what I said.)

That being said, I’ve been known to get a little overzealous in my tomato buying, whether it’s at the grocery store or my local greenmarkets. Then…sometimes…they sit in the fridge, sad and a little mushy.

I hate to waste, so I had to think of something to do with them.

Needless to say, this recipe is kind of my JAM.

(Not afraid of a good-bad food pun…)

This is my latest recipe for Yoga By Candace, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! It’s got a savory sweetness to it, a little ketchup-y in flavor but this ain’t no Heinz! I eat it by the spoonful because…of course I do. Ha! It also goes great on top of scrambled eggs or swirled into a big bowl of creamy polenta, as shown below.

Hint: Play around with different color tomatoes! Red will yield a gorgeous jam, but I used mostly yellow plus an orange tomato in this particular photographed batch, giving it its gorgeous rusty hue.
