Small-Batch Basil and Cherry Tomato Freezer Jam image

A great sweet and savory way to use up any extra cherry tomatoes you might have! Tastes great on crackers with either goat cheese or cream cheese! This makes about a pint and a half of jam when all is said and done.

2 ½ pounds cherry tomatoes, halved and stems removed
1 cup white sugar
1 cup finely chopped fresh basil
½ cup finely chopped sweet onion
½ lemon, juiced
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon ground coriander

Steps:

  • Inspect 2 pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.

  • Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced by half, 2 to 3 hours. Remove from heat.
  • Divide jam between jars. Allow to cool slightly before covering with lids. Refrigerate jam for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 4 months.
