Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

8 ounces small tomatillos (about 8), husked, rinsed
1 large jalapeño chile, stemmed
10 large fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup finely chopped white onion

Steps:

Preheat broiler. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange tomatillos and jalapeño chile on prepared baking sheet. Broil until tomatillos and jalapeño chile are soft and blackened in spots, about 5 minutes per side. Cool; transfer tomatillos, jalapeño chile, and any juices on baking sheet to blender. Add fresh mint and lime juice; blend to coarse puree. Transfer mixture to bowl; mix in chopped onion. Season salsa with salt.

Tips:

Choose firm, ripe tomatillos for the best flavor and texture in your jam.
Use a sharp knife to remove the husks from the tomatillos. Be careful not to cut yourself.
If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the jam for doneness by placing a small amount on a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it's ready.
Let the jam cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator. The jam will thicken as it cools.
Store the jam in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
