Jack has a good crop of tree tomatoes, or tamarillos, on his two trees. I thought I'd turn some of them into jam. I read a number of recipes on Pinterest and then sort of amalgamated them. What I learnt is that tree tomaoes need to be cooked before adding the sugar, unlike, say, peach jam. It's a beautiful colour and has set well.
First I've heard of 'Tree Tomatoes' you learn something new every day.

I've heard of tamarillos, but I've never tried them. Your jam sounds so yummy!
ReplyDeleteI’ve never heard of tree tomatoes either before today. Do they really grow on trees? I’ve googled them but don’t see any ‘trees’. Live and learn like crafty cat corner says.
ReplyDeleteYes, it’s a small tree. Tomorrow I’ll show a picture of Jack’s trees. My sewing pupil is about to arrive.
