Ingredients
Jam:
- 2 cups peeled, seeded and diced plum tomatoes
- 1 large clove garlic, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup carrot juice (recommended: Trader Joe's)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon ground fennel seed, optional
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
Tapenade:
- 1 cup pitted black French-cured olives, drained
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 cup freshly chopped parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup green pitted olives
- 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Crostini:
- 1 baguette
- 1 clove fresh garlic
Directions
To make the Jam: Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and over low-medium heat, reduce by
1/3, stirring occasionally. Cool to room temperature before serving.
To make the Tapenade: Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until coarsely mixed. Set aside.
To make the Crostini: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Thinly slice the baguette crosswise, and line up on a cookie sheet. Toast in the oven until golden brown, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven. Slice the garlic clove in half and rub each toast with the cut side of the garlic. Serve with Tomato Jam and Olive Tapenade.

Loved the salty-sweetness of this crostinit. I cooked down the tomato jam till it was nice and thick, like a pulp and then strained out all the extra liquid. Added dijon mustard, lemon juice, and anchovy paste to the tapenade. Wonderful!

You must make both the jam and the tapenade. The jam is the sweet and the tapenade is the salty. Excellent together.

I really liked the ease of this recipe. I used basil instead of the fennel as that is what i had on hand. Made some biscuits to go with the jam. Would have done the tapenade but was out of olives.....Would make again.
