Skandi: Interesting!! I wonder what variety that is? The ones that are prevalent in the US have been bred to ship, I suspect, and half the time they have close to an inch of white rind, which does make them very shippable. And their rind a waste, unless you get weird with it :D

One batch I mixed with berries I had, and a third batch was mixed with apples. I actually would make again with the apples and original- the mixed berries version was still okay but maybe the flavours compete so it is not such a clear flavour. Maybe picking just one berry, like JUST currants or JUST raspberries would be better.
Green tomato jam is quite common here among particular communities ( French influenced) but quite a novelty for most guests who are from other parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, or those few people we know with more anglophone Canadian/ American background. Most people visiting over the holidays sat there trying to guess the taste of what kind of special fruit jam I served them- something exotic! Is it maybe kiwi? lol.
Rave reviews and people are very surprised when you tell them it is green tomato! My in-laws have made many requests now that I please make it for them again. We also pickle the green tomatoes, to serve in mixed pickle, so it is a very versatile fruit lol.
