Time 2h15m

Yield 20 crostini

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 cups diced beefsteak tomatoes (2 to 3 large tomatoes)
1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
1 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 baguette
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
40 small mint leaves, for garnish, optional

Steps:

For the jam: Place the diced tomatoes in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the strawberries, sugar, cinnamon, salt and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened to the consistency of a loose jam, 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
To assemble the crostini: Preheat the broiler to high.
Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Brush each slice on both sides with the olive oil. Place the bread on a baking sheet, sprinkle with the salt and broil until golden brown and crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Top each crostini with a teaspoon of jam and some of the feta. Garnish with one or two mint leaves if using.

TOMATO STRAWBERRY JAM

I did not peel the tomatoes, but as it cooked I occasionally pulled out a piece of tomato skin and discarded. Most of them broke up as they cooked, so I wasn't too worried about them. If desired, you can take an immersion blender and give it a quick blend at the end of cooking.
