We first had a taste of this delectable treat at a county fair food truck in Stowe, Vermont. A big yummy seared pork belly sandwich with this incredible jam, arugula and a bit of sriracha aioli. MY GOSH...my mouth exploded with WTF!!!

So simple, so incredibly delicious, hard to describe...here it is:


4-5 large ripe tomatoes, blanched, cored and skinned or 1 large can of tomatoes without the juice. Cherry tomatoes are amazing also...you can get them in a tin as well.
About 1-1/2 cups of sugar for a full recipe, or pair down if making less, needs to be sweet.
¼ c. g
rated ginger ( I like lots, gives a great bite!)
3 or 4 grinds of course black pepper
Big pinch of salt
At the end...1-2 teaspoons (or more) of freshly squeezed lime juice

Put the tomatoes in the saucepan and stir in the sugar, pepper, and salt. Add the fresh ginger. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to ensure that the mixture is cooking evenly, until most of the liquid has cooked off. If foam occasionally rises to the top, skim it off. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice.

Storage:
The jam will keep for at least 6 months in the refrigerator, in 
jars or tupperware.

A  great condiment for turkey, pork or anything really. Makes the BEST side for a gorgeous cheese platter. Try on any sandwich. So beyond good!!
