Yields4 Servings
Prep Time15 minsCook Time40 minsTotal Time55 mins
Ingredients
 1 green tomatoes that start to turn white; otherwise, they will be too acidic.
 2 Untreated lemons
 1 clove vanilla
 700 granulated sugar
Directions
1

Wash the tomatoes, cut them into pieces, and place them in a jam pot.

2

Wash the lemons and grate their zest using the coarse side of a grater. Squeeze their juice, and split the vanilla pod in half. Add to the tomatoes in the bowl along with the sugar.

3

Bring to a boil and stir well to dissolve the sugar. Continue cooking over medium heat for 30 to 40 minutes. To know when the jam is cooked, let a drop fall onto a plate that you have placed in the freezer for a while. Put it back in the freezer for about 1 minute, and when the jam wrinkles under the pressure of your finger, it is ready (push the jam with your finger).

4

To finish, remove the vanilla pod. Pour into sterilized jars and seal them while hot. Allow to cool and label the jars. Store in a cool place.

    For me, the recipe is good, but I added sugar (2.2 kg for 2.350 kg of fruit). Lemon and vanilla go well together and give a nice flavor to the whole.

    Personally, I just made it before finding this recipe. I added tangerine leaves, orange blossom water, a bit of mint, and green tea. We'll see how it turns out. At the same time, I made a few jars of "green tomato salad," which I'm more familiar with, prepared sweet and sour style! Everything is cooling down! A quick question, can the jam be eaten directly the next day or does it need to "ripen" a bit?

    Tested and approved! As for Jack, why so much bitterness? Recognizing your difficulties and trying to improve is certainly not a reason to change hobbies, but seeking advice can help you do better next time. I hope your spelling will be better in the future... because there is work to be done!!!

    Excellent. A quick recipe to make and everyone enjoyed it. Just before the end of cooking, I passed the jam through a food mill, which removes the excess skins and seeds and gives the jam a nice creaminess.

    In response to Nanou and Solan: For my part, I let it cook for 10 minutes to properly dissolve the sugar, and then I cook for 40 to 45 minutes over medium heat. (So in total 50 to 55 minutes) and the jam is not liquid at all. Excellent jam.
