Calling All Hunters!

The "boys" went out hunting last Saturday. It appears one little duck became hamburger due to them all converging on it at the same time! If you go hunting, or have a hunter in the family, and have a little better luck I've copied some marinade recipes that were posted by Debbie Kent in her dehydrating class for jerky for you to try.

Please feel free to give feedback and share your results with us!

Green Tomato Jam

Don't know if anyone else has this problem but....

I pulled my tomato plants a little while ago before the frost got to them. I usually let the tomatoes sit on the counter until they ripen and then use them but I'm getting tired of looking at them!

I had been told that one can do a lot with green tomatoes so I started looking for recipes and found this. Looked intriguing and the rest of the counter sitters went into a pot and I was pleased with the end result. My friends who volunteered to taste test liked it too.

Green Tomato Raspberry Jam

8 c. green tomatoes, finely chopped
12 oz (1 package) frozen raspberries
10 c. sugar
1 T lemon juice
2 (3 oz.) raspberry jello
1 pkg. pectin

Wash & core the tomatoes. Then chop into very small chunks. You might want to put them in a blender or processor. Put the 8 cups of chopped tomatoes into a large pot. Add the raspberries and pectin to the tomatoes. Bring to a boil, add the sugar and cook until dissolved. Add the lemon juice and jello to the pot. Let simmer for another 10 minutes (watch carefully so it doesn't boil over).

Sterilize 7 pint jars and lids. Pour the hot jam into each jar leaving a 1/2 inch head space.  Wipe off the tops of the jars, screw on the lids, and place in a hot water bath for 15 minutes. Cool on rack on counter until sealed and completely cooled. Store in cool, dark place up to one year.

Mine took a day or two to set up so don't panic if it seems a little soft! When checking the internet for recipes I found others that interchanged flavors using strawberries/strawberry jello etc. instead of raspberries. So feel free to switch it up and let us know how it turns out. :)
