If you are looking for a sensational preserve to serve with cheese, fish or on a tasting plate then my Green Tomato and Lemon Preserve has to on your to do list. It has the perfect balance between sweet and sour, quick & simple to make, and once tried, you will keep a store of this in your cupboard (if you can stop your friends from stealing a jar when they visit!!)
This recipe makes 750g but I generally double the quantities as it is such a favorite.
Perfect with a crisp white such as a Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris or Grigio.

Put tomatoes and lemon in a pan, add the water and sugar. Cook for about 1 hour or until it jells when tested.
