GREEN TOMATO JAM WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Cut tomatoes into smaller pieces and make a green tomato puree using a blender. Add tomatoes little by little.
• If your tomatoes have seeds and rough peel, strain the puree through a sieve (mine were perfect, no seeds and soft peel so I didn't need to strain).
• Pour the tomato juice into a roomy saucepan bring to a boil. Turn the heat on low and simmer until you get left with half the juice.
• Pour sugar and continue simmering until you get a medium thick syrup
• Meanwhile dice the apples. Alternatively you could grate the apples or pass them through a blender if you want your jam to have a smoother texture or you don't like to feel apple chunks in your jam. This method will also help you spread the jam easier on toast.
• Grate the lemon, set it aside and squeeze the lemon juice out.
• Sprinkle the lemon juice on the apples. This will prevent the apples from browning until the tomato syrup is done
