Green-Tomato Raspberry Jam


Green-Tomato Raspberry Jam
(Cheryl Cook)

8 cups pureed green tomatoes (clean and trimmed)
2 cups of raspberries
5 cups of sugar (calls for 10)

Mix and cook at a low boil for 25 to 30 minutes.

Add:
1 t. of lemon juice
1 package pectin (or 6 T)
2 3 oz. packages of raspberry jello

Bring back to a boil and cook for 10 minutes.  Ladle into pint jars that have been sterilized.  Water bath for 15 minutes.  Set on counter overnight.  Recipe says it makes 8 pints.  (I got 6 from the recipe).

One note - I used red tomatoes as well as green ones.  I think the red tomatoes give it a slight tomato taste.  I think you wouldn't taste that with just green tomatoes.

This is not an approved recipe.  Proceed with caution because it primarily contains tomatoes which are a low-acid food.
