Description
Tomato jam might sound fancy, but this version is made with canned tomatoes, meaning it skips the peeling, chopping, and seasonal stress. Tasty ingredients like ginger, garlic and brown sugar amp up the flavour of this sweet-savory spread.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- juice from one lemon
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp red chilli flakes (optional)

Instructions
