FoodOboz editors share a recipe for jam from green tomatoes, which will be very unusual in flavor.

Ingredients:

• tomatoes - 1 kg
• water - 3 liters
• sugar - 1200 g
• citric acid - a pinch
• lemon peel

Method of preparation:

1. Cut the tomatoes into halves, cut out the stalks and remove the seeds with a spoon. Then cut into small pieces. Transfer the tomatoes to a saucepan and pour 1 liter of boiling water. Bring to the boil over high heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Drain, re-fill with 1 liter of cool water and cook for another 10 minutes.

2. Tip the tomatoes into a colander to drain off the liquid. Transfer to a bowl, cover with sugar, cover with a lid and leave for an hour or two. Pour 1 liter of boiling water again, bring to a boil over low heat and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, cool, cover and leave in the refrigerator for a day.
