Sweet 100 Tomato "Jam"

I mentioned this Sweet 100 Tomato Jam while chatting up the folks at Munak Ranch and two other shoppers asked for details. Their enthusiasm was noted so I fast tracked this post since quality tomatoes are hanging around and sweet 100s can still be found.

Adapted from Nicole Rucker's Dappled and inspired by Mourad Lahlou's New Moroccan, this jam has a permanent parking spot in my freezer. It isn't technically jam given the relatively small amount of sugar. Sweet 100s are delicious raw, but when you roast them with a handful of well-suited inclusions the result is a true difference maker on the plate. Caramelization amplifies the already delicious tomatoes and concentrates the sugars while the honey, citrus, and touch of heat launch the flavor skyward. It's minimal effort relative to the payoff. Pairing ideas below.
