Green tomato jam with vanilla

Vanilla beans · about 4 jars · 1 hour + overnight

A great way to use the season's last green tomatoes. Lovely with cheese and cold cuts.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg green tomatoes
  • 600 g sugar
  • 1 organic lemon, juice and finely grated zest
  • 1 vanilla bean

Method

  1. Cut the tomatoes into small pieces and mix with the sugar and lemon. Leave in the fridge overnight.
  2. Bring the mixture to the boil with the split vanilla bean and its seeds.
  3. Simmer the jam over medium heat for 30–40 minutes until thick, stirring regularly.
  4. Remove the vanilla bean and pour the jam into sterilised jars. Seal straight away.

Tip: use the whole bean. A scraped vanilla bean still has plenty of flavour. Put it in a jar of sugar, and after a couple of weeks you have your own vanilla sugar.
