Tomato Bacon Jam

Tomato Bacon Jam from Lemony Thyme

This has been my Summer of Jam.  In years past I had avoided making jams and jellies simply due to my lack of understanding of the canning process.  However, once I discovered how easy it was to make skillet jams the creative juices began to flow.  Strawberry Jalapeno and Peach Jalapeno Skillet Jams gave me the confidence to take on Tomato Bacon Jam.

Over the past three days we have enjoyed Seared Sea Scallops {over Tomato Bacon Jam & Herb Infused Grits}, Bacon Cheeseburger Flatbread Pizzas {featuring Tomato Bacon Jam}, and for breakfast this morning toast with Tomato Bacon Jam & fried eggs.  We may have found our new favorite condiment.
