Green Tomato Jam
Green tomato recipes
Green tomatoes are not as widely used as red ones. The taste and texture is a bit different, but even the green ones are really delicious. You can use them in salads, fry them- or make jam of them. In Italy, green tomato jam is often served after a meal together with cheese. This is a super-easy recipe, with a great result!
Have you never tried eating green tomatoes before? You will not be disappointed. A bit stronger, astringent flavor than the red ones, but equally tasty. Forget about how a tomato should taste and check out this great flavor!
For this recipe, choose firm, green tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 500 g green tomatoes
- 200 g sugar
- grated peel of 1 lemon
- juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Take away the seeds and cut the tomatoes in smaller cubes. Put everything together in a pot and cook slowly until thick, at least 30 min.
- While the tomatoes are boiling, sterilize the jar. This is best done by boiling the jar, as well as the lid, for about 15 min. Put it upside down on a towel to dry.
- When the jam is ready, carefully put it in the sterilized jar. Try to avoid air-bubbles to form, by slowly ladling the jam into the jar. When the jar is filled, close it well and put it upside down until cool. Will keep for about 6 months. Once opened, keep in the fridge and consume within a few days.
