You're welcome, Susan. Hope it works out well for you! If it's any vote of confidence, the videographer who creates videos for my site recently filmed the video for this recipe and she RAVED about the tomato jam. Fingers crossed you find some tasty tomatoes in your store. :)

Thank you Ashley for getting back to me so quickly too! I was hoping canned tomatoes would work. I will check out the grape tomatoes in a store in our area. I can't wait to try it! I know tomatoes this time of year can be flavorless. I will definitely try this again next summer!

Hi, Susan! This is an excellent question. Unfortunately, canned tomatoes will yield more of a tomato sauce vibe rather than a jammy one. Definitely not as easy or ideal to make the jam in the winter (I hear you on the midwest—I'm there, too), but if you're open to store-bought grape tomatoes, they will work well even if not as flavorful as locally grown.
