I always thought the sugar was the bit that preserved it. So glad it works!

what can I use instead of green tomatoes? will red tomatoes work?

i've got all the ingredients now so plan to make some in the next few days.

how many jars did that make?

i'll probably use fruit juice instead of water and add some chillies.

This time I put concentrated apple juice in it instead of water. I can't remember how much that first batch made, this time I had about 2 and a half times the amount and that made 15 jars but 4 of the jars were 2lb jars so around 20lb jars for the bigger batch. So for the recipe I posted that would be ..................my brain is addled, can you work it out. Embarassed

i think that means it's 6 jars. roughly.

i think i'll probably just do half the amount. and then regret it later when it's lovely (i hope!)

Better not to do too much. Have made that mistake before and been up half the night simmering, setting and decanting into jars. Then the washing up!
