Instructions
-
Prepare the Tomatoes: Begin by grinding or grating the green tomatoes until finely chopped. This step will help release their juices, ensuring a smooth jam texture.
-
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated tomatoes and sugar, stirring well to ensure the sugar is evenly distributed. Allow this mixture to sit for about 10 minutes, which will help draw out the moisture from the tomatoes.
-
Cooking the Mixture: Transfer the tomato and sugar mixture to a large saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
-
Boil: Once boiling, let the mixture cook for 15 minutes. This boiling process will help thicken the jam and develop its flavors.
-
Remove from Heat: After 15 minutes of boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat source, and let it cool slightly for a minute or two.
-
Add the Gelatin: Sprinkle the raspberry Jell-O gelatin over the hot mixture, stirring well until fully dissolved. This will give your jam its sweet raspberry flavor and vibrant color.
-
Seal and Store: Pour the jam into sterilized jars, seal tightly, and store in the refrigerator. Alternatively, you can freeze the jam for longer shelf life.
-
Enjoy: Once cooled, this jam is ready to be enjoyed! Spread it on toast, serve with pancakes, or use it in your favorite desserts.
