A delicious tomato and chili jam that leaves a fiery flavor on your tongue.
By Erica Scime
As soon as I saw the recipe for this hot chili and tomato jam at Easy Peasy Organic I thought of my boyfriend. He is a fanatic for anything spicy and loves anything he can spread on crackers or bread. And me? I am big on tomatoes and love anything that simmers. I knew I had to make this chili and tomato jam and I’m so glad I did. It is spicy, for sure, which my boyfriend loves, but not in a way that burns your throat and has you reaching for a carton of milk, which I love. It has the kind of heat that perks up your taste buds and it is full of true, bold tomato flavor. I love this hot chili and tomato jam on a piece of crusty bread with a bit of ricotta or goat cheese or even over pasta. 
And my boyfriend? He gave this hot chili and tomato jam his spicy stamp of approval and has hardly stopped asking for it since.
