Crafting Delicious Tomato Preserves

Use the preserves on toast, crackers, or as a pasta sauce base.

Store in sterilized jars to maintain freshness for several months.

For longer shelf life, consider water-bath canning the jars.

Variations

Add garlic or chili flakes for a spicier preserve.

Mix in other herbs like oregano or thyme for a different flavor profile.

Combine with roasted red peppers for a richer, sweeter preserve.
