How to Make Raspberry Green Tomato Jam

  1. Wash and roughly chop 2 pounds of green tomatoes. Grind or grate them using a food processor or box grater.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the grated green tomatoes with 4 cups of sugar and 1 cup of raspberries (fresh or frozen). Stir well to combine.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Reduce heat to a gentle boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the jam has thickened slightly and starts to sheet off a spoon. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 package (3 ounces) of raspberry flavored jello. Stir until completely dissolved.
  6. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean, and seal with lids.
  7. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust according to altitude – check your canning guide for specifics). OR, allow to cool completely and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  8. Once cooled, enjoy your homemade Raspberry Green Tomato Jam! It's perfect on toast, biscuits, or as a unique topping for ice cream.
