    The jam looks delicious! I'll have to try this once my tomatoes ripen. You're not the last to get a steam canner. I don't have one either but may have to look into it 🙂

    I still haven't gotten either a steam canner or an electric… only because of the storage space needed for them, not because I don't want them.

    This looks good! I really want to do this one. I always felt like ketchup is just ok, nothing special. This may be just what I need to replace ketchup.

    Hi Carter, I always mess up when halving (or doubling) a recipe so I need to do all the calculations and write them down before tackling the recipe. Your tomato jam looks incredible and I'm sure it tastes wonderful!

    I dried my small batch of tomatoes but my next batch will be this jam! I am interested to hear what you think of the steam canner. I just got an electric canner that has a steam canner capability but I haven’t tried it yet.

    Carter, I'm totally into the ginger, and garlic in anything tomato based. I like controlled aromatics, anytime I can include them. (Same for Cumin)
    I covered my head when the sugar showed up. Not that I am a sugar policeman… but it seemed like a left turn. I'll return to my seat at the back of the class. I had to remember that it is a jam. 😁

    On the other hand… I have some jalapenos ripening up outside… so…substitution is a fun option.
    Thank you.

    Hi Carter. I’m going to give this a try. My tomatoes are just starting to trickle in. I’m loving the thought of no peeling or straining.
