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 for Making Green Tomato and Jalapeno Jelly:
- Choose firm, green tomatoes that are free of blemishes. The tomatoes should be about the same size so that they cook evenly.
- Use fresh jalapeno peppers for the best flavor. If you want a milder jelly, remove the seeds from the peppers before chopping them.
- Use a large pot for cooking the tomatoes and peppers. The pot should be big enough to hold all of the ingredients comfortably.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the tomatoes are very soft and the peppers are tender.
- Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth-lined colander to remove the solids. Be sure to press on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Measure the liquid and return it to the pot. Add sugar, vinegar, and pectin to the pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in butter or margarine. Pour the jelly into sterilized jars and seal them tightly.
