Wild Tomato Jam

Wild tomatoes at their peak — slow-cooked into a bold, savoury jam with real depth.

At Fat Tomato, we grow over 100 heritage tomato varieties each year, in every imaginable colour, size, and shape. Some are best eaten simply — with flaky sea salt and good olive oil — while others, with their rich, fleshy texture, are perfect for preserving.

Among our favourites are wild Argentinian tomatoes. Like sweets in the polytunnel, they produce tiny, currant-sized fruits with an intense sweet-tart, deeply tomatoey flavour. An ancient variety native to Ecuador and Peru, they grow freely and abundantly, thriving in the warmth of our tunnel.

We turn this special harvest into a richly flavoured Wild Tomato Jam, made with Highbank Orchard’s organic apple syrup, our own fennel seeds, a pinch of Fat Tomato chilli flakes, and bright organic key limes sourced through the CrowdFarming platform, connecting us directly with small-scale citrus growers across the Mediterranean.

The result is a sticky, vibrant jam that sits somewhere between sweet and savoury. If you love sweet chilli sauce, you’ll recognise the balance — not hot or fiery, but bright, lime-led, with soft fennel notes and a gentle warmth.

Serve with eggs, grilled cheese, or roasted vegetables. Spoon into dressings, marinades, or noodle dishes, or mix with mayonnaise for a simple, flavour-packed dip.

Available as a 212g glass jar for everyday use, or as a Gift Box, wrapped in our illustrated paper — inspired by the Wexford and Irish food story — and presented in our signature black box.
