GREEN TOMATO JAM

Steps:

• Before you begin, prepare calcium water.To do this, combine ½ teaspoon calcium powder (in the small packet in your box of Pomona's pectin) with ½ cup water in a small, clear jar with a lid. Shake well.Extra calcium water should be stored in the refrigerator for future use.
• Wash jars, lids, and bands. Place jars in canner, fill canner 2/3 full with water, bring to a boil. Turn off heat, cover, and keep jars in hot canner water until ready to use. Place lids in water in a small sauce pan; cover and heat to a low boil. Turn off heat and keep lids in hot water until ready to use.
• Wash tomatoes and cut into chunks. Pulse chunks briefly in a food processor. Do this in batches so you have more uniformly sized pieces. You don't want mush.
• Measure 4 cups of processed green tomatoes into a sauce pan and set aside.
• Wash the lemon. Zest half of the lemon into the sauce pan with the tomatoes. Remove the white pith and any seeds from the zested half of the lemon. Chop the flesh but not so fine that you lose the juice. Add the chopped lemon pulp and juice to the sauce pan.
• Add ¼ cup more of lemon juice to the sauce pan.
• Slice the half of vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds into the sauce pan with the tomatoes. Add the pod also. Alternatively, add vanilla extract.

• Bring fruit mixture to a full boil. Add pectin-sweetener mixture, stirring vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes to dissolve the pectin while the jam comes back up to a boil. Once the jam returns to a full boil, remove it from the heat.
• Remove the cinnamon stick and vanilla bean pod (if using) from the jam.
• Fill hot jars to ¼" of top. Wipe rims clean. Screw on 2-piece lids. Put filled jars in boiling water to cover. Boil 10 minutes (add 1 minute more for every 1,000 ft. above sea level). Remove from water. Let jars cool. Check seals; lids should be sucked down. Eat within 1 year. Lasts 3 weeks once opened.

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
• When the tomato syrup is dense enough, add the apple cubes, the cinnamon sticks and the lemon zest
• Keep simmering until all apple cubes get a glassy texture.

GREEN TOMATO MARMALADE

Steps:

• Using a vegetable peeler, remove the top layer of rind from the oranges and lemon, being careful not to remove any of the bitter, white pith. Sliver the rind. Set aside while you segment the oranges and lemons.

• Place the drained citrus rind, citrus pulp, green tomatoes, sugar, and ginger in a large pot. Bring to a boil and boil uncovered until the jam sets. The timing will vary greatly depending on how green your tomatoes are and how big you cut them. Mine took 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, sterilze the preserving jars and prepare a water bath for processing. Click here for a step-by-step overview if you are new to preserving or need a refresher.
• When the mixture reaches the setting point, fill the prepared jars with hot marmalade, leaving a 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims clean. Place lids on the jars and screw on the band until finger-tip tight. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
• Once you remove the jars from the bath, allow to cool undisturbed for 24 hours. Check to ensure jars have sealed.

GREEN TOMATO MARMALADE

Steps:

• Wash tomatoes. Cut into sections and remove the stem end, core, seeds, and the watery/gelatinous sack around the seeds. Dice, or cut the tomato pieces into small chunks. Place in large bowl and add the sugar. Let stand for three hours to draw the juice from the tomatoes and allow the sugar to dissolve. Stir two to three times.
• Wash the lemons and orange well. Zest the lemons and oranges. Remove any seeds and cut lemons and orange into small pieces.
• Transfer tomato-sugar mixture and the liquid to a medium-sized stock pot. Add the chopped lemons and orange and the zest, along with the crushed pineapple. Add the piece of cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over medium high temperature, stirring to prevent scorching. Immediately lower the temperature and cook, uncovered, at a slow gentle boil until mixture reads 220°F, sustained, on a candy thermometer*. Stir mixture regularly to prevent scorching. Be patient, this can take upwards of 2 hours. Remove the cinnamon stick after about an hour. When marmalade has reached its temperature, remove from heat and stir in the maraschino cherries, if using.
• While the marmalade is cooking, fill a large pot of water, about ¾ full. Place 6 half-pint jars, upright, into the water. Ensure the jars are fully submerged, are each filled with water, and that the water is at least an inch over the tops of the jars. Cover, bring to a boil, and boil for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and leave the jars in the hot water while the marmalade finishes cooking.
• Meanwhile, fill the canner about one-third to one-half full of water. Cover and bring to a boil to have it ready for the filled jars.
• When the marmalade is cooked, use a jar lifter to remove the hot jars from the water. Using a canning funnel, pour marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving about ¼" headroom in each jar. Wipe the jar rims with a clean cloth. Seal jars with heated lids and fingertip-tightened ring bands.
• Place jars in hot water bath wire basket, ensuring jars do not touch each other or fall over. Carefully lower basket into canner of hot water. Ensure the water level is at least 1" above the tops of jars, adding more boiling water as necessary. Cover with canner lid. Increase the heat to return the water to a rolling boil then decrease the heat to just keep the water at a rolling boil but not boiling over. Process half-pint jars in the hot water bath for 10 minutes, adjusting time for altitude. Start timing the processing from the point where a full rolling boil is reached after basket of jars has been added to the canner. At the end of the processing time, turn off heat and remove canner lid. Using a jar lifter, carefully remove the jars, one at a time, and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Listen for the "pop" or "ping" sound as the bottles seal over the next few minutes or hours. The lids of properly sealed jars will curve downward. Let jars rest, undisturbed, on wire rack for 12 hours. Store in cool, dark place. Refrigerate marmalade once opened.
• Yield: Apx. 6 half-pint bottles
• *If you don't have a candy thermometer, place 2-3 freezer-safe saucers in freezer. To test for doneness, place a small amount of marmalade on chilled saucer and swirl saucer around. Let marmalade sit, untouched, for about a minute, then gently push your finger through the marmalade. If the marmalade holds its shape (i.e., does not immediately run back together after the finger has been removed from the marmalade), it is set and ready to bottle. If not, continue to cook mixture, repeating the "chill" test about every 3 minutes or so (always removing the pot from the heat while conducting the chill test) until the marmalade passes the "chill" test. Do not overcook as it will result in a very thick marmalade, dark in color.
