Tomato Jam and Jalapeno Spinach Frittata

This morning as I picked the garden I couldn't stop thinking about a tomato jam so off to the kitchen to experiment.

I looked up several recipes and then decided to combine two into a delicious Tomato Jalapeno Jam

Tomato Jalapeno Jam

Romas - My guess somewhere between 3 and 5 lbs (I used what I picked in picture)
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar 2 tsp Kosher salt
2 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
3 jalapenos seeded and chopped

Quarter the tomatoes and put in a stock pot.  Add al the remaining ingredients and bring to a rolling boil.  Reduce and simmer for about 2 hours.  Pour into sterile jelly jars and water bath for 10 minutes.

Spinach Jalapeno Frittatas

2 potatoes 

3 large jalapenos

7 eggs

1/2 c shredded cheddar

4 oz of feta crumbled

3 oz fresh spinach or more

Cook the potatoes wrapped n baggie for 10 minutes - cool, peel and mash

Add all the remaining ingredients 

Spread in a lightly greased baking dish 

Bake 30 minutes at 350.

Serve with Tomato Jam

My boys loved this!

Afterburners

Great for grillin out or appetizer

I use chicken tenders (you can use chicken breast cut into strips) I beat them down with a kitchen mallet
small container of cream cheese and mix with freeze dried jalapeno ( I spread his on top of the chicken)
Roll the chicken up and wrap a half of a slice of bacon or turkey bacon around it and secure with a toothpick.

Grill on the grill until done ( I place on tin foil) or Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes

This is a take I took on my neighbor Jolynns recipe.  She uses Jalapeno sliced in half with seeds taken out and regular bacon. (It is awesome)

At Christmas I tried it with shrimp for another spicy treat. I did it Jo's way with shrimp and jalapeno slices wrapped in bacon.
