How to Make Green Tomato Jam
- Combine 4 cups chopped green tomatoes, 1 cup granulated sugar, and the juice of 1 lemon in a large bowl. Gently stir to coat the tomatoes. Cover and let sit overnight in the refrigerator.
- The next morning, add 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup finely chopped preserved ginger, and 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained) to the bowl. Stir well to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to boil gently for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the jam reaches setting point (a small amount placed on a chilled plate wrinkles when pushed with a finger). Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims clean, and seal with lids and rings. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure a safe seal.
