Author Notes
You can call it Tomato Jam, which perhaps is a little more "tasteful", but whatever you call it it is delicious. Since we couldn't decide what to call it, it came out as tomato goo. My mom came up with this one night and we all loved it. Use on bruschetta, pasta, as a drizzle over fish or chicken--for whatever you like. My son loves it just off a spoon :) Haven't met anyone yet who doesn't like it. I've used heirloom tomatoes, mix of grape, cherry and yellow, whatever you have--all good. So easy and quick too.
