Recipe: Mock raspberry jam (aka green tomato jelly)
This is a star! Southern depression-era cooks longed for the taste of
raspberries, but such delicacies were scarce. So they improvised, using what their country gardens had in abundance—green tomatoes! Dozens have tasted my version and no one has ever guessed that no raspberries were harmed in its creation!

3 Skim foam from the top and discard.
