Green Tomato Jam {Homemade Recipe}

Have you ever made or eaten green tomato jam? For me it’s a first and it’s really very very good!

In the spring, we had planted several varieties of small tomato stalks on our terrace and after the hot weather, they had a new life.

When the rain arrived, the plants that I thought were roasted, turned green again and even bloomed again when I thought I had to pull them up a few days earlier.

I left them just to have a little green on the terrace, and finally, one day like that, I realized that there were plenty of small tomatoes… What a surprise!

Of course, they were overtaken by the arrival of the cold and I said to myself that I could not leave them like that. So that’s when I came up with the idea of ​​making a single jar of green tomato jam. 🙂

I started with a big bowl of small tomatoes and it’s exquisite! I’m sure with nice green tomatoes, it must be even better.

So, you like it ? You may have a few tomatoes that won’t ripen but you didn’t want to waste.
