We don't often stray from our orchard fruit obsession - but this straight up tomato jam is worthy of the stretch.

This year’s batch includes beautiful ruby Amish paste tomatoes from Maple Rock Farm on Orcas, sun-ripened and kissed by the ocean breezes in Crow Valley. From Mama Bird Farm on San Juan, we have captured the bounty of Mara and Lars’ yellow and red Brandywines, grown with love and organic practices, nestled amongst the trees in the center of the island. We tease out their sweetness with organic cane sugar, curls of organic lemon zest, and a pinch of San Juan Sea Salt.

If you've never tried tomato jam, it was a revelation to us- you won't be disappointed. Fabulous with every cheese we've put it on -- and the hubby swears by it on a ham sandwich.
