Spicy Ginger Tomato Jam With Coconut Sugar #SundaySupper

Fresh tomato jam with a hint of ginger, paprika and cayenne.  This jam is made with coconut sugar making it low glycemic and diabetic friendly! My Sunday Supper team is doing a ” Saving Summer” theme and I am making  a spicy tomato jam. One of my favorite things about summer is all the fresh produce and herbs. I love local produce and frequently shop at local farms and farmer’s markets. I have always wanted to make tomato jam and gave it a shot this weekend. I was slightly nervous since it is the first time I am using coconut sugar in a jam but it turned out pretty good! For those of you who are not familiar with coconut sugar, it is the ‘New Black’ for people who want a healthy sugar that is all natural and kind to your body! It has a lower glycemic index thus making it a sugar that is diabetic friendly when eaten in moderation. It has a nutty caramel flavor which imparts a rich flavor to anything.   I used less sugar in this tomato jam but I used a low sugar pectin which makes the tomatoes gel very nicely and appear like a nice gooey jam. My tomato jam had seeds, skin, was kind of chunky and tasted melt in mouth delish! I love that it satisfies my sweet tooth and makes me feel a little less guilty when I reach for the second smear! I love this experiment and will definitely be making more jams with coconut sugar!!
