I needed to use some tomatoes before they were \u2018too ripe\u2019, so I decided to make jam. Better than sauce and perfect to add a homemade touch to a ham sandwich!<\/h5>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n

I\u2019ve been sharing some recipes, like\u00a0my rag\u00f9<\/a>\u00a0and my\u00a0ANZAC biscuits<\/a>. Now it\u2019s time for a preserve! Also know as tomato jam!<\/p>\r\n

While my Nonna taught me how to cook Italian and my Nanna taught me how to cook Australian, I learnt how to make jam myself (by trial and error at some points).<\/p>\r\n

I\u2019m going to share how I made my tomato jam! So, get ready to preserve like an Aussie and add some jammy magic to your next ham sandwich! \u00a0<\/p>\r\n

The Recipe<\/h2>\r\n

I had some tomatoes and spring onions in the fridge that were\u2026 making their way out the door, and I didn\u2019t want to lose them.<\/p>\r\n

So, I had to do SOMETHING with them. I didn\u2019t have the right things for chutney\u2026 so jam it was!<\/p>\r\n
