I was disappointed to see so many tomatoes in our garden not wanting to turn red. I was going to make chutney. Then I remembered that years ago I once had some green tomato jam while on holiday in France and that it was delicious. So I turned our mini garden disaster into some tasty green tomato jam that should take us through the Winter!
This is quite a flexible recipe. You can adjust the amount of sugar or lemon juice to suit your taste. Also, I used ground mixed spice just because I could not make up my mind, but you can experiment with cinnamon, ginger etc …
Also if the tomatoes you are using have quite thick skin it is better to skin them first.
