3 pound ripe beefsteak tomatoes -- (about 5 large)
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion -- diced (about 1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic -- minced (about 2 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1 teaspoon coriander seed
1 teaspoon mustard seed
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
1 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup dry sherry
Blanch the tomatoes: Use a paring knife to cut a small "x" on the bottom of each tomato. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, drop the tomatoes into the water, and let them cook about 30 seconds.
Using a slotted spoon, remove tomatoes and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water. Remove the cooled tomatoes and, using the paring knife, gently peel off their skins. Chop the skinned tomatoes and set aside.
Make the jam: In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat oil and saute the onion for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until the onions soften -- about 2 more minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, including the chopped tomatoes.
Increase the heat to medium high and cook until the tomato mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated. Cool completely. Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
Makes 2 cups (16 two-tablespoon servings)
Author Note: Use up any end-of-season tomatoes in this spicy jam -- try it on grilled [favorite] at your next cookout, or make our great-tasting and fuss-free wrap sandwich.
Chupa Note: also wonderful mixed into rice, with bits and pieces of
left-over veggies for a rice salad. Or add a tablespoon or two to a bland broth for a soup base.
