I got a lot of green tomatoes due to the lack of Summer

I don't like green Tomato Chutney......But I found this recipe and the family ate it cos I just wrote Lemon Jam..on the label ...

Green Tomato Jam

6 lb green Tomatoes
2 lemons
1teaspn Citric Acid
6 lb Sugar

1. Remove skins from tomatoes by pricking skins and pouring boiling water over and leaving for a few minutes.
2. Slice tomatoes and put in large Pan.
3. Squeeze juice from lemons into the pan and add citric acid.
4. Tie pips and peel of lemons into a muslin bag and put in the pan.
5. Simmer till fruit is broken down.
6. Put sugar to warm in VERY cool oven
7. Put clean jam jars to warm in oven.
8. Add warmed sugar to pan and stir over gentle heat until dissolved. Bring to boil.
9. Boil rapidly till setting point is reached. Do not over cook at this stage!! ( easy test for setting point. Drop blob of boiling jam on cold plate.... push the blob with finger. If it wrinkles as you push setting point reached)
10. Pour into jars. and place waxed paper disc on top to seal. Then cover with clear paper jampot covers...(Can be bought on eBid here http://uk.ten.ebid.net/stores/TheCookBookShop)
11. label pots and store in cool dark place.

This is good for saucy base for sponge or suet puddings

Please add YOUR recipes..........

PS if you have Nasturtium flowers in your garden, collect the seeds before they get too big and pickle them.. Wash and dry the seeds on paper towel. pack tightly into small jars...like Mustard or spice jars. Wash and warm the jars first!. Pour over the boiled Vinegar and screw cap on tightly then use instead of capers for caper or tatare sauce.....( I chop them up finely and add to salad cream/ mayonaise to make a great mock tatare sauce!!)

Sounds yummy.

Anyone got a recipe for Garlic Pickle?

We bought some at the local car boot about 6 months ago, but the guy who was selling never came back and unfortunately they came from a distance away.

Thanks for that, I'll pass it on to the cook, however it is always nice to make a tried and tested one.
