PERSONAL NOTE: I used 2T more lemon juice in the mix because of an aside about the recipe. Don’t know if the recipe really needed the extra juice or not. I didn’t want my first attempt to fail to jell. Maybe someone else can make this recipe strictly by the instructions and report back. This batch of jelly will last me for a while. I don’t eat jelly much. It’s more for mother’s sweet tooth. Wait a minute! She’s got dentures! Going to have to change that saying.


After boiling the pulp for 10 minutes you will have to strain the pulp because a lot of juice will have rendered out of the pulp. You should have fairly non-juicy pulp. This recipe says it will make 4 half pint jars. It made 6 for me. I probably didn’t let enough of the juice strain out.


My husband will love this!!


Yum Yum!! Can't wait to try this with home grown tomatoes this Summer!


Now here's a very unique recipe! Sounds so easy, too! My husband grows tomatoes, so I'll be definitely trying this out in season!


This looks really interesting and something I would like to try.


Do you use Tomato Jam on the same things you would use regular jam on? I have never heard of it before!


Sure. Why not? Try a sample on a cracker or piece of bread to get a feel for the taste and see what you think it would be good with. Everybodys tastes are different. I use it anywhere I would use regular jam.
