During this trip to Bangalore from Tuticorin, I was about to have lots and lots of farm fresh tomatoes (Natti Tomatoes), so thought of preparing dishes with tomatoes since they were getting ripen day by day. I love homemade tomato jams, since the day had it in my childhood on few of the marriages. Finally concluded in trying out Tomato Jam and this was my first time in preparing Jam, so I handled with more care. Really felt fresh when the aroma of Jam fills out the whole house, time by time the colour which starts turning blood red was attractive and last but not least but the most important thing the taste which was sweet and tangy, unbeatable Tomato Jam. The only thing here is since I used Natti (Country) tomatoes there were lots and lots of seeds, but it was also crunchy in between of each and every slurp.

It’s Friday, so taking this to Angie’s Fiesta Friday #59.
