I've never tried fried green tomatoes, but I always remember my best friend's grandmother's green tomato jam. I used to absolutely adore it, and they gave it to me for afternoon tea every time I went there!! I've made some myself, and it was still pretty good, so I would recommend it! Just make it like any other jam, with 3/4 weight sugar, and a dash of lemon zest and juice in it as well. Just out of curiosity, and because I've been reading a lot of American mysteries: Do American eat everything fried??? No wonder so many people have a weight problem! Fried food always seems to be what the characters in those books eat at the restaurant or at home, and the mysteries that give recipes in them have half fried recipes, even from places which you would think were too hot for that kind of food, like Florida or New Orleans!! The English have a lot to answer for!!! It was similar in Australia in 1969 when I arrived, although it was supposed to have the best fish and shellfish in the world, the only way you could get it at the restaurant was fried in thick batter with crumbs around. Yucks!!! Fortunately, we've come a long way since.
