This is a geat recipe! My family of 8 goes through a jar of jam a sitting ....or almost, and it has become very expensive. The kids are not very picky when it comes to anything sweet so they really enjoyed the jam, not to say that it isn't good, because it is remarkeably tasty, but obviously it is what it is-not the real thing(can anything beat homemade raspberry/strawberry jam with chunks of fruit?). I did fool a lot of people who thought that it was authentic. I cut the sugar by LESS than half and it was still very sweet. I have tried this with every variety of gelatin and the berries are the best in my opinion. I sometimes throw in a hand of sliced real berries to give even more of an effect. I will be using this recipe again! Thanks!

Looking for a way to use up green tomatoes in our garden, I came across this recipe. I made a half batch first with raspberry jam and another half batch with strawberry jam. It is good, but my family could tell it was not my regular freezer jam. It comes together very quickly and is very simple to make. I just threw the tomatoes in my food processor to pulp them. I did use sugar-free gelatin as that is what I always have on-hand. Very cheap to make if you have the green tomatoes just sitting in your garden. Thanks for sharing this recipe SUZQ.

the kids liked it ok, but I don't like jello and that's all I could taste.

Made this according to the recipe and it was good. A pleasant suprise althought not as good as regular jam w/fruit it was still good. Don't be discouraged the end product is much better than it smells or looks during the process! I used a combination of strawberry and raspberry together and then another batch with cranberry, strawberry and blackberry.

Delicious. Perfect use of too many end of season green tomatoes. I used the called for amount of sugar, but used sugar-free gelatin....perfect. Absolutely delicious!

I just made this and am pretty surprised with the taste. I thought it would have some tomato taste to it but none at all. I did cut it down to 8 serving to try at first and I used cherry jello. I added sugar to it and it turned out really sweet but still good, I made a second 8serving batch and did not add the sugar and that turned out MUCH better. I will be using this recipe again, thank you.

This really works, and it's delicious. The tomatoes I used the second time were probably 2/3 of the way ripe, and it still worked great! I will use this recipe for my green tomatoes for years to come!

I've made this recipe in the past and it turns out great! I use either raspberry or strawberry jello and no one can tell that it's made with green tomatoes. Instead of freezing the jam I process my jars in a boiling-water canner for 10-15 minutes.

I made this recipe using sugar-free cherry gelatin and Splenda. It was very good. Had the ladies at work sample without telling them the ingredients---they were pleasantly surprised.
