Default What do you know about Tomato Preserves?

I pulled these two recipes from r.f.recipes last week.

How does a body eat them (besides with a fork or spoon or whatever other
smartmouth remark Bob was going to make)? I made the first recipe
tonight; just took them from the BWB. I added a little cinnamon, clove,
and grated fresh ginger.

How are they used?

On a hot biscuit. Especially with just a little bit of butter and a
piece of sausage. It's pretty good with a whole lot of butter and no
sausage too. Tomato preserves are not very good on toast, IMHO, and I
don't know why -- you gotta use biscuits. HTH :-)

Barb,

I make a Tomato Basil preserve that I put over a block of cream cheese and
serve with crackers.....the same way most folks serve Pepper Jelly......as
an hors d'oeuvre.

They're old and rural foods - country food. They've been used as
breakfast spreads for toast and for nibble foods with biscuits or
rolls. They're also used as condiments with roasted meats much as
chutneys are. Green tomato preserves are typically tart-sweet and are
used as a condiment with boiled meats. Sometimes used on top of meat
loaves like a tomato sauce or ketchup. Served with roasted chicken or
pork.

border and ... <did I say that out loud...?>

OK, thanks. I'm trying to think of anything similar (tomatoes vs more
traditional fruit spread) and didn't know if this was a bread spread or
more like a condiment. The Bobs have suggested hot biscuits. That
sounds good to me, too.

I don't care for them but my Dad and his three brothers used to like
them on cornbread in addition to on biscuits. I've just never cared for
tomatoes anyway but fresh or in soups or stews.

Hi Barb,

The preserve I make is sweet and works great with the cream cheese (I think
a good, sharp cheddar would be great with it as well -- square of cheddar on
top of a Triscuit, spoon on a little tomato preserves and top with a little
sliver of chive). Whenever I serve it, folks always ask where I got it.
When I tell them I made it and that I make lots of preserves, pickles, and
such they get a big kick out of how "quaint" I am :-)

Hi Barb,

The preserve I make is sweet and works great with the cream cheese (I think
a good, sharp cheddar would be great with it as well -- square of cheddar on
top of a Triscuit, spoon on a little tomato preserves and top with a little
sliver of chive). Whenever I serve it, folks always ask where I got it.
When I tell them I made it and that I make lots of preserves, pickles, and
such they get a big kick out of how "quaint" I am :-)
