How to use herb tomato jam on bread/crackers

Herbed Tomato Jam is one of the recipes I tried with trepidation. I was sure that it would be a flop. The only reason I tried it is that we had so many tomatoes and I wanted to see how many things I could make with them. Boy, was I surprised. I not only liked the combination of savory herbs with the sweet jam but my kids loved it too. I can not tell you how many people I have given a sample of this to who have been as shocked as I was about just how good it really was.

My current favorite way to eat Herb Tomato Jam is on French bread or crackers. It is such an easy snack.

I begin by creating a generous layer on cream cheese on either the bread or the cracker.

I then add the Herb Tomato Jam. Sometimes there will be more herbs toward the top of the jam. In that case, I just stir the jam first.

It is so pretty with the tomato pieces and bits of herb in it. I love to make this and it is so easy I have even taken it on picnics or camping trips.
