What to do With Green Tomato Jam
Personally, I like Green Tomato Jam on toast. An artisan grain bread toasted with butter and a savory Green Tomato Jam. Also, I enjoy it as a cheese pairing with a tangy sharp cheese, the sharper the better!
While there are many recipes that utilize Green Tomatoes we like ours as a savory Green Tomato Jam! While some might wrinkle their noses at the thought. Tomatoes are a fruit. Not unlike their cousin the apple they are delicious when prepared correctly no matter red or green.
You might be familiar with fried green tomatoes, sliced thick and breaded. Green tomatoes offer the same amount of beta carotene as ripened ones. If you did not know, you would never recognize green tomatoes as being in the tomato family. They firm and tart. Green tomatoes call for completely different recipes than red or ripe ones.
While reading a jam forum I came across this comment:
"Think of Green Tomato Jam as chutney and take it from there. I love it in a grilled cheese with a nice sharp cheddar. It's great with smoked turkey on sourdough bread. You can bake it with Brie Cheese and serve it on crackers or mix with mayonnaise or sour cream as a dip."
From there we just go wild.
