Strawberry Tomato Jelly
Lori A.
This homemade jelly tastes like strawberries, but it's actually made with tomatoes!
- 5 cups chopped tomatoes
- 5 cups sugar
- 1 large package strawberry gelatin (6 oz)
In a large heavy saucepan, cook tomatoes and sugar for 15 minutes; stir often until thick and bubbly. Sprinkle gelatin powder over hot mixture and stir in to dissolve.
Pour mixture into sterilized jelly glasses and top with lids. Cover and refrigerate for 5 to 6 hours or overnight. Enjoy!
Note: This is an easy recipe that's good for all those tomatoes that you get and don't know what to do with. It's hard to believe this tastes like strawberry jelly, but it does. I made it with a group of Girl Scouts over an open fire, and everyone loved it. Very delicious!
Note: While it may be possible to can this jelly for long-term storage, we just recommend keeping it in the fridge. If you do can it, be sure to follow all USDA guidelines for safe canning: https://nchfp.uga.edu/resources/category/usda-guide
