Read moreThis jam has a cult following of a magnitude that I'm too scared to ever stop making it; it's based on my original recipe so I'm super proud of it. Tomato is technically a fruit so not quite a veg jam - this year I got to make this jam with Desi tomatoes grown by farmer Zee of Kula Nursery. Desi tomatoes are very similar to early girls and are deeply flavorful. Great in sandwiches, on top of cheese, and makes a great addition to meals with roasted meats and vegetables and while not a chutney, it does complement savory dishes very well.
Vegetable jams might sound niche and strange and you might be thinking she's out of ideas so she's trying to jam anything now. But I'll have you know that in the old world, especially the Eastern Mediterranean, Caucasus, and Western Asia vegetable jams reign supreme: in fact carrot jam is one of Iranians absolute favorite jam, Cretan tomato jams of Greece, as well as parsnip, beet, eggplant, and cucumber jams are highly coveted.
Made with:
Kula Nursery Desi tomatoes, organic sugar, organic lemon juice, saffron

8oz jar

“You might think all you're getting when you open a jar of Saba's preserves is jam. But you're wrong. It's also poetry, art, and time brought to a standstill. Following in the storied footsteps of the great Persian poets, artists, and preservers who came before her, Saba crafts passionate odes to fruit with each batch of jam she makes. There is no one else like her. But you don't need me to convince you — one taste is all it'll take.”
