My friend Marcia created this thick, zesty jam after harvesting an abundance of tomatoes and jalapenos from her garden.

With an added touch of ginger, this sweet and savory condiment is amazing! We slather it on burgers, omelets & eggs, sandwiches, crackers and cheese. It’s absolutely perfect with lamb or pork tenderloin!
