Tomato Jam

Chop about 5 cups of tomatoes, put into blender to get 4 1/2 cups liquid. Put 5 cups of sugar into a pan and mix well with the 4 1/2 cups liquid. Boil this for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove, add 2 (3 oz.) packages raspberry or strawberry Jello and mix very well. Fill jars and top with 1/2 inch of paraffin. Put into refrigerator to thicken. This is an excellent way to use up all the extra tomatoes from the garden. It tastes just like fruit jam. That is the closest I could find to your description.

Raspberry Jam (A Fabulous Fake)

For one of our family reunions, we made a binder of family recipes. This was one of my favorites from our 1996 reunion.

Raspberry Jam (A Fabulous Fake)

• 2 cups chopped green tomatoes
• 1 and 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 3 ounce package of red raspberry gelatin (Jell-O)
• Prepare four 8-ounce jelly jars and lids

Wash and dry six or seven green tomatoes: cut off stem ends, cut tomatoes in quarters. Using a food grinder or a food processor, grind or chop the tomatoes. Place chopped fruit in a strainer and allow to drain.

Measure 2 cups chopped tomatoes; place in saucepan with sugar. Stir to mix and bring to a rolling boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in dry gelatin. Pour hot mixture into prepared jars. Seal (02/04/2009)
