Ingredients
- eight pounds small green tomatoes
- seven pounds sugar
- four lemons
- one ounce
Directions
Eight pounds small green tomatoes (pierce each with a fork), seven pounds sugar, the juice of four lemons, ginger and mace mixed, one ounce. Heat all together slowly, and boil until the fruit is clear. Take it from the kettle in a perforated skimmer, and spread upon dishes to cool. Boil the syrup until thick, put the tomatoes in jars and pour syrup over them hot. Keep in a cool, dry place. These taste much like foreign preserves.
