Breakfast with Tomato Marmalade

A while back I mentioned Alexander Thompson’s delicious tomato marmalade (I mentioned it here and here).  It might sound unexpected (I had never heard of tomato marmalade before), but tomatos are fruit, and Alexander’s recipe really works.  They served it at the opening of The Cave with cheese and crackers, which was a great combination, but it’s also good on plain old toast for breakfast!

I put it on whole wheat toast with a glass of orange juice.  Just a part of this nutritious breakfast!

You can buy it on line or, today, at the Thursday Cape Ann Farmers’ Market at Stage Fort Park in Gloucester, 3-6PM under the blue tent.

He also makes the most addicting bread & butter pickles… also available on line and at the Farmer’s Market.

About Fr Matthew Green

Currently parochial vicar at Holy Family Parish, on Cape Ann (serving the churches of St. Ann, St. Joachim, and St. Anthony). I moved to the area in early August '11, and am very happy to be in such a welcoming community and beautiful location! One of my hobbies is photography. You can see my photos on Flickr and buy prints of some of them on Fine Art America. I am a daily contributor to GoodMorningGloucester (GMG for short), a blog by and about the community of Gloucester specifically and Cape Ann in general. The content is diverse, ranging from the beautiful and sublime to the earthy and occasionally offensive. I hope my contributions are of the former kind, not the latter. So, while I cannot endorse all the content that is posted there, I am grateful to Joey (the founder and admin of the blog) for giving me space to make my contribution. I also have my own blog, Perpetual Learner, which mostly includes my homilies and some re-posts from GMG, but also sometimes has other content, such as my personal reflections, videos I like, etc.

    I can testify to the great taste of the tomato marmalade, as I also sampled it at The Cave grand opening. Now I’ll have to try the pickles.

    Many folks said they’d seen this before they came over to the tent for a taste of the good stuff! It made me feel very loved! I’m Alexander, posting here wearing my photographer’s username. Thanks GMG, and Father Matthew! We’ll see you all in another two weeks, and I’ll have a batch of Ma’s *Speechless* Fresh Mint Jelly to try as well! Cheers!

  3. I bought some Tomato Marmalade at the opening of The Cave because I LOVED the sample. Then loved it so much bought another one a week later. And gave one away as a gift. GOOD STUFF Alexander, thanks for making it! Yum! PEACE!

    Tomato jam has always been yummy on a turkey-ricotta burger grilled in the great outdoors, but it takes hours to make. Now I can try tomato marmalade!
