To prepare a delicious green tomato jam, start by carefully selecting two large green tomatoes that are firm and blemish-free. Wash them well under cold water to remove impurities. Once they are clean, cut them in half and then into quarters, proceeding to slice them thinly, similar to salad slices. It is important to remove the seeds, as they can affect the final texture of the jam. After obtaining the slices of green tomatoes, weigh them to determine the exact amount of sugar you will add. In this case, add granulated sugar in an amount equal to the weight of the green tomato slices, which will help extract the juice. After removing the seeds, pass them through a sieve, but do not press too hard, as you do not want to obtain a puree. The resulting liquid, which should be around 80 ml, will add an extra note of flavor to your jam. All the ingredients, the slices of green tomatoes, and the sugar, along with the extracted juice, are combined in a cauldron, which is ideal due to its even heat distribution and non-stick properties. Place the pot over low heat, allowing the mixture to simmer slowly. During the boiling process, stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Observe how the syrup begins to thicken; to check the consistency, you can do the plate test. Put a few drops of syrup on a cold plate, and if they form compact beads without dissolving in water, then your jam is ready. Once you have achieved the desired consistency, you can turn off the heat. In the end, you should obtain about 300 grams of green tomato jam, a perfect delight to be enjoyed on a slice of fresh bread or as a filling for pastries. Let the jam cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars. Make sure to seal them well and store them in a cool, dark place. This jam will not only add a unique touch to your meals but will also bring pleasant summer memories even on cold winter days. Savor every spoonful of this lovingly prepared green tomato jam!
