GREEN TOMATO JAM



Green Tomato Jam image

My grandfather used to love homemade raspberry jam. My grandmother, being a thrifty woman, used to make this for him and taught me and my cousins how to make it when we were very young. If my grandfather ever knew what was in it, he probably never would've touched it again, however he never caught on, and raved about it. Great...

GREEN TOMATO JAM

Sounds crzy I know, but surprisingly good. Best to use Strawberry or Raspberry Jam because they are seeded type.

Provided by Elaine Glowacki

Categories     Jams & Jellies

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups mashed green tomatoes
2 cups sugar
1 3oz. box of jello

Steps:

  • 1. Bring Tomatoes and Sugar to a boil in saucepan. Boil for 15 Minutes Remove from heat. Stir in Jell-o Refrigerate Good for 1 month in refrigerator

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use firm, green tomatoes that are free of blemishes. The best varieties for making jam are Roma, Green Zebra, and Aunt Ruby's German Green.
  • Prepare the tomatoes properly: Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and remove the cores. Cut the tomatoes into small pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the jam from scorching.
  • Cook the jam slowly: Bring the jam to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the jam has thickened. Stir the jam frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Add sugar gradually: Add the sugar to the jam in small increments, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar. This will help to prevent the jam from crystallizing.
  • Test the jam for doneness: To test the jam for doneness, place a small amount on a chilled plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger across it, it is ready. If the jam is too thin, continue cooking it for a few more minutes.
  • Process the jam properly: To process the jam, ladle it into sterilized jars and seal the jars tightly. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. This will help to preserve the jam and prevent it from spoiling.

Conclusion:

Green tomato jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, biscuits, or crackers. It can also be used as a glaze for ham or chicken, or as a topping for ice cream or yogurt. With its unique flavor and beautiful green color, green tomato jam is a surefire hit at any gathering.
