Tomato Bacon Jam

Update: I made this several times last summer, and it’s our new favorite condiment for our grilled burgers! 

My garden tomatoes are doing extremely well this year, and I’ve been on the lookout for good recipes with tomato ingredients.  My friend April Humphrey gave me this recipe for Frank Reiter’s Tomato Bacon Jam.  Frank Reiter was a food blogger in the Joplin, Missouri, area.  I never got the chance to see Frank’s blog, as he unfortunately passed away much too soon-but it is obvious that he left a delicious legacy.  I corresponded with Frank’s wife before writing this post, and she assured me that Frank would have been happy to share this recipe.

I made the jam on Sunday, and words can’t even describe how good it tastes!  We even had a hard time staying out of it while it was simmering on the stove.  My husband is the pickiest eater on Earth (in my opinion), and he has been devouring this Tomato Bacon Jam all week.

Thank you to April, and to Frank, for this week’s featured recipe. 🙂
