This delicious and all-purpose condiment came about the way all my offerings do: an abundance of resources and a desire to transform the mundane into magical to share with family and friends. Fresh tomatoes, picked just a day or two before they make it into my jam pot, are combined with organic sugar, a touch of molasses, warming spices, salt, and lime juice, then cooked down until sweet, smoky, and spreadable. Each 8oz jar of spiced tomato spread contains about a pound of fresh tomatoes!

Spiced Tomato Spread is the “regular” version of this unique condiment, bringing the brightness and warmth of peak tomato season to your sandwiches, cheese boards, and morning eggs even in the depth of winter.

Smoky Spiced Tomato Spread (formerly known as Dark Moon) is a slightly spicier, slightly more savory version of the regular. With significantly more molasses and an extra dose of chili flakes, it has a depth of flavor reminiscent to a barbecue sauce and goes especially well with grilled meats and charcuterie.

Like all of my physical product offerings, Rascal Relish Spiced Tomato Spread is as sustainable and low-waste a product as possible. The tomatoes I use are mostly “seconds,” or fruits that don’t meet the aesthetic or structural standards to be sold at full price to consumers or restaurants. The farms I purchase from box up the tomatoes that don’t sell throughout the day at farmers markets and I pick up at end of day, or I go to the farms on the day of harvest to pick up field seconds. All tomatoes used in my products are FRESH, usually harvested the same day or the day before I jam them down, and aesthetics don’t matter when you’re jammin’. This means that the farmers still make a profit on ugly fruit, I can keep my costs relatively low, and the tomatoes aren’t wasted.
