Ready to rock…a new condiment? Riff on toast, eggs, even entrées like poached halibut with Katchkie Farm's new Tomato Jam. TJ's made with tasty organic tomatoes - getting its sweet from ginger and sugar, it's sour from cider vinegar - and has a solid kick of cayenne. It's more applesauce texture than jelly, more salsa-y than ketchup-y - instant deliciousness, no preparation needed.
A recent USDA study found 34 different pesticide residues on conventional tomatoes - including two known carcinogens. Going organic means you can stuff your maw all you want, minus any pesticides. We've been topping crostini with a slice of parm cheese and a dollop of TJ - hello, last-minute Thanksgiving appetizer.
Tomato Jam from Katchkie Farm, available online or in the north wing in Port Authority every Thursday at the Katchkie Farm Table; enter at 8th Ave. between 41st and 42nd Sts. Tomato Jam, $8/8 ounces.
