Steps:
- Combine green tomatoes, sugar, raspberries, and jalapeno peppers together in a saucepan; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved and raspberries and tomatoes are broken down, about 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in gelatin mix until well blended.
- Pour tomato-raspberry mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack tomato-raspberry mixture into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4-inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Tips:
- Choose firm, unblemished green tomatoes for the best results. Underripe tomatoes will have a higher pectin content, which is essential for a good gel.
- Use a sharp knife to remove the skin from the tomatoes. This will help to prevent the jelly from becoming cloudy.
- Be sure to remove the seeds from the tomatoes before cooking them. This will help to reduce the bitterness of the jelly.
- Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the jelly while it is cooking. This will help to ensure that it reaches the proper gel point.
- Pour the jelly into sterilized jars and seal them immediately. This will help to prevent spoilage.
Conclusion:
Green tomato and jalapeno jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It is perfect for spreading on sandwiches, crackers, or toast. It can also be used as a glaze for chicken, fish, or vegetables. With its sweet and spicy flavor, green tomato and jalapeno jelly is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
