GREEN TOMATO JELLY
A deceiving raspberry pepper jelly made from green tomatoes! We serve this with cream cheese for an appetizer, but it is also good over grilled fish or chicken.

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.

GREEN TOMATO AND JALAPENO JELLY
Every year about this time (November), I wonder what new thing I can do with the green tomatos still growing in my garden. With the freezing temps, I know I have to bring in all these "greenies" and use them somehow. I decided why not make jelly??? Since I love pepper jelly, I incorporated the idea I use for pepper jelly and...

Steps:
- 1. Add chopped tomatos, jalapenos, vinegar and ginger to a food processor and pulse until you have a fine grind.
- 2. Pour mixture into a saucepan and add the sugar. Stir well with a wooden spoon to combine ingredients.
- 3. Bring mixture to a boil (Med/High heat), then reduce to medium and simmer at a low boil for approximately 20 minutes, stirring often.
- 4. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered jello mix. (Use a whisk to ensure even mixing)
- 5. Pour hot mixture into glass jars of your choice and allow the mixture to cool. (I used three pint ball jars). Place in fridge for at least an hour to allow the mixture to "jelly up".
Tips:
- Choose firm, green tomatoes for the best jelly.
- Wash the tomatoes thoroughly before using them.
- To remove the skins from the tomatoes, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to cold water. The skins will easily peel off.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the tomatoes into small pieces.
- Add lemon juice to the tomatoes to help prevent them from browning.
- Bring the tomatoes and sugar to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the jelly reaches the desired consistency.
- Test the jelly by placing a small amount on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is ready.
- Pour the jelly into sterilized jars and seal them tightly.
- Store the jelly in a cool, dark place for up to one year.
Conclusion:
Green tomato jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great way to use up green tomatoes that would otherwise go to waste. With a little time and effort, you can make your own green tomato jelly at home. So next time you have a surplus of green tomatoes, don't let them go to waste. Make some green tomato jelly instead!
