Tomato jam has some fantastic international spins! In India, you might find a spicy version that includes ingredients like ginger, green chilies, and garam masala, adding a zesty kick that pairs well with bread or rice. In the southern United States, people often make a sweet tomato jam using brown sugar and spices, which is perfect for topping biscuits or serving with cheese. Over in the Mediterranean, some variations incorporate olives or herbs like basil and oregano, giving it a fresh, savory twist that works wonderfully as a dip or spread. Exploring these different styles can really highlight the versatility of tomato jam!
