- Cover with plastic wrap and allow to soak in the refrigerator overnight
- The next day, in a preserving pan, cook the tomato/sugar/lemon mix over high heat, stirring continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved
- Continue cooking for 10 to 15 min over medium heat after the sugar dissolves

- Carry out the cold plate test to check the ideal cooking time
- Pour the jam into the previously sterilized glass jars and allow to cool (See also the most effective jam-making techniques )
SuggestionGreen tomatoes are tomatoes that have not reached complete maturity; this gives them their very particular acidity.
If you wish to sweeten this recipe, you can add two golden apples or two quinces cut into cubes before soaking.
Add spices such as cumin, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, and ginger, and you will obtain an extraordinary jam with which to accompany game animals.
