Green Tomato Raspberry Jam

These items are great additions to your food storage and are on sale at Smith's through Tuesday:
Campbell's chicken noodle or tomato soups 2/$1, Colgate toothpaste 4.6 oz $.94, Kraft mac & cheese 2/$1.

This is something great to do with your tomatoes that didn't ripen before the frost. Another great thing to do is wrap them in newspaper/paper towels/whatever... and store in a cool place. Mine were ripening slowly into December last year.

Green Tomato Raspberry Jam


4 c. green tomatoes, ground
3 c. sugar
1 (6 oz.) pkg raspberry Jell-O

Grind tomatoes in blender (with skin, uncooked) until fairly smooth. Seeds should still be intact, they give the visual illusion of raspberry jam.
Bring tomatoes and sugar to a boil over medium heat.
Stir & cook for 10 minutes.
Add Jell-O (giving the taste illusion of raspberry jam).
Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Spoon into clean, hot Mason jars and seal using inversion method -turn upside down and let sit over night. Check for seal in morning by pushing on lid. If it clicks up and down it didn't seal right. Put that jar in the fridge and use first.
