Directions

For the Tomato Jam

1. Gather the ingredients.

2. Add the tomatoes, sugar, lemon juice, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, curry powder, and salt to a stainless steel pot and turn the heat to medium-high.

3. Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to simmer, stirring often, until the mixture reduces and thickens into a jam-like consistency; about 1 hour. 

4. While this is reducing, make the sausage-infused patties.

 For the Sausage-Infused Burger Patty

1. Gather the ingredients.

2. Meanwhile, add your beef and sausage in a bowl and gently mix together, being sure not to overwork the meat and form into a patty shape and season with salt and pepper.

3. Set aside and heat up your grill or cast iron to medium-high heat.

4. Spray the surface of whatever you're using to cook the patty and add the meat, allowing it to cook for a few minutes on each side until it's cooked all the way through.

5. Turn the heat off and add the gouda on top. 

6. Then prep the remaining ingredients for assembling the burger.
