tomato jam

Red fruit spread

Tomato jam is a sweet preserve made by cooking tomatoes with sugar and spices until thick and spreadable.

Unlike savory tomato preparations, it leans into the fruit's natural sweetness, often with warm spices like cinnamon or ginger.

It works as a condiment for cheese, meat, or toast: The burger came with a smear of tomato jam.
