Module 5 using tomatoes for sweet treats canning class all things tomato

If you’ve only used tomatoes in savory recipes, you’re about to discover a completely different side of this remarkable fruit.

In Module 5, we’ll step beyond sauces and salsa to explore how tomatoes can be transformed into delicious sweet preserves. Their natural sweetness, balanced acidity, and rich texture make them surprisingly well suited for jams, chutneys, and fruit spreads.

In this audio lesson, I’ll explain why these recipes work, how to balance flavor, and what makes green tomatoes and ripe tomatoes behave differently when making sweet preserves. Along with the lesson, you’ll receive two printable recipes so you can confidently make both a flavorful Tomato Chutney and a delicious Green Tomato Jam in your own kitchen.

By the end of this module, you’ll have a new appreciation for the versatility of tomatoes and another creative way to enjoy your harvest long after the growing season has ended.
