It *is* a jam ;-) I do make some low sugar jams for my customers (using Ball Low Sugar Pectin) and a no sugar apple butter, which is divine. Some of my customers can't eat added sugar and some just like their jam tart instead of sweet. It's best not to make a low sugar jam with something that is not high in acid, as the sugar in jam does help to preserve it and prevent bacterial and bot growth (it binds the moisture and makes it unavailable). Tomatoes can be borderline, so that's probably why I haven't seen a low sugar variety of tomato jam. I will look at the new Ball Blue Book and see what they have.
