Refrigerator Jam Recipe

There really is no comparison to a fresh tomato picked from the vine. Standing in the middle of my garden, biting into that warm juicy flavor.

This year, I have two in my garden – Roma and Celebrity. Both are great to slice thick and put in a sandwich, on toast, just on a fork with salt.

I have used each variety in separate batches of this jam – both taste great.
