GREEN TOMATO AND LEMON MARMALADE

Here is a surprising, and quick, way to use up the green tomatoes that you couldn't resist at the farmers' market. Tangier, more complex and looser than most marmalades, this one offers candied slivers of fruit suspended in a thick, honeyed syrup that is just jellied enough to spread, yet runny enough to be dolloped over ice cream, or perhaps some leftover mascarpone.

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Citrus     Tomato     Lemon     Orange     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Makes 3 (1/2-pint) jars

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pounds ripe beefsteak tomatoes, peeled and chopped, reserving any juices
3 cups sugar
2 juice oranges, quartered, seeded, and sliced crosswise 1/8 inch thick
1 lemon, quartered, seeded, and sliced crosswise 1/8 inch thick
1/8 teaspoon salt
Special Equipment
3 (1/2-pint) canning jars (optional) with lids and screw bands; a wide 5- to 6-quart heavy pot (at least 9 1/2 inches in diameter)

Steps:

  • If desired, sterilize jars , lids, and screw bands.
  • Chill 2 small plates (for testing marmalade).
  • Cook all ingredients, including reserved juices from tomatoes, in pot over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved, about 6 minutes. Simmer, stirring frequently as marmalade thickens (to prevent scorching) and adjusting heat as needed, until marmalade tests done, 50 minutes to 1 1/4 hours. Begin testing for doneness after 50 minutes: Drop a spoonful of marmalade on a chilled plate, then tilt; it should remain in a mound and not run (if necessary, remove pot of marmalade from heat while testing).
  • If not processing, cool marmalade, uncovered, then chill in an airtight container (preferably glass).
  • If processing, drain jars upside down on a clean kitchen towel 1 minute, then invert. Ladle marmalade into jars, leaving 1/4 inch of space at top. Run a thin knife between marmalade and jar to eliminate air bubbles.
  • Seal, process, and store filled jars (and boil marmalade in jars 10 minutes).
  • Let marmalade stand in jars at least 1 day for flavors to develop.

Tips:

1. Choose firm, unblemished green tomatoes. Avoid tomatoes that are too ripe or have soft spots, as these will not produce a good quality marmalade. 2. Prepare the tomatoes properly. Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and remove the stems and blossom ends. Cut the tomatoes into small pieces, about 1/2 inch thick. 3. Use a large pot or Dutch oven. This will give the marmalade plenty of room to boil and thicken. 4. Cook the marmalade over medium heat. This will help to prevent the marmalade from burning. 5. Stir the marmalade frequently. This will help to prevent the marmalade from sticking to the bottom of the pot. 6. Test the marmalade for doneness. The marmalade is done when it has reached a thick, spreadable consistency. To test the marmalade, place a small amount on a cold plate. If the marmalade wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is done. 7. Store the marmalade in a cool, dark place. The marmalade will keep for up to a year in a sealed jar.

Conclusion:

Green tomato and lemon marmalade is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, biscuits, or scones. It can also be used as a glaze for chicken or fish. With its bright flavor and beautiful green color, green tomato and lemon marmalade is a surefire hit at any gathering.
