Pizzeria Pretzel Combos Jam
My friend Rhett requested this however it's kind of impossible to make jam from Combos. So I decided to see what the ingredients were in middle of the Combos. It sounds like it's your basic marinara mixed with parmesan cheese. I am hesitant to put cheese in a jam but I thought a tomato jam that tasted a bit pizza-y might be worth a try. I used a recipe from Pomona's to start out.
Ingredients
1 14 oz can Muir Glen fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
1 lemon
1 tbsp tomato paste
Balsamic Vinegar
Red Wine Vinegar
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp onion powder
pinch of allspice
1/4 tsp oregano
2 tsp chopped fresh basil
1/4-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes or to taste
2 tsp calcium water
2 tsp pectin
1/3 cup honey
Directions:
1)Pour the tomatoes into a 16 oz measuring cup. Cut the lemon in half and zest one half. Juice both halves. Add the zest and juice to the tomatoes. Add 1 tomato paste to tomatoes. Add equal parts balsamic and red wine vinegar to tomatoes so that the tomato mixture comes to 2 cups. Pour tomato mixture into a small pot and add the garlic and onion powders, allspice, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Stir in calcium water and bring mixture to a boil.
2)Stir 2 tsp of pectin into the honey and then pour the honey mixture into the tomatoes. Boil vigorously while stirring until jam reaches the jel state (test with a spoon chilled in the freezer).
3)Take jam off the heat and ladle into hot sterilized jars. Adjust lids and bands and process in bwb for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool overnight.
