As a young lad, I mowed grass for an older lady whose husband had recently passed away. He was a gardner and very good at it. He grew okra, tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce and he even grafted his own variety of grape. I met him 2 years before his passing, and had the fortune to spend some time with them around harvest when he needed help. In addition to a modest cash payment, she would also give me some tomato jelly that she made herself. It was a beautiful vibrant light red color and I seem to recall that she kept some of the seeds in the jelly also.
I was curious if anyone else has had such a wonderful tomato jelly before? What would be a good choice of tomato for such a recipe? Does anybody else have a tried and true recipe for tomato jelly that they would be willing to share? (I've found a few with the google, but was hoping for a recipe with some history since I am unable to find the one from my childhood) Thanks for any direction. Brett
