Healthy Recipes Healthy Ingredient Recipes Healthy Vegetable Recipes Healthy Tomato Recipes Green Tomato Jam Be the first to rate & review! This green tomato jam is moderately sweet, with the lemon juice and zest enhancing the natural acidity of the green tomatoes. The sugar helps to sweeten the jam just enough without being overpowering, and helps to thicken the jam with the pectin from the tomatoes.
