Green Tomato Marmalade (very good)

Here is a great recipe for those end of the summer green tomatoes that you're not sure what to do with:

GREEN TOMATO MARMALADE

2 quarts sliced, small, green tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 lemons, peeled (save the rind)
4 cups sugar

Combine tomatoes and salt in a stainless steel kettle; chop lemon rind fine and add. Cover with water and boil 10 minutes. Drain well. Slice the peeled lemons very thin, discarding seeds but reserving all juice. Add lemon slices and juice and the sugar to the tomato mixture. Stir over moderate heat until sugar melts. Bring to boiling, reduce heat, and simmer until thick-about 45 minutes. Stir frequently. Pack in hot jars and process 5 minutes in a B-W Bath. Cool upright.

This classic from long ago is especially good served with meat.

This comes from the book Putting Food By, 4th Edition written by Janet Greene, Ruth Hertzberg, Beatrice Vaughan...The Stephen Greene Press, Lexington, Massachusetts

I use a meat slicer to slice my tomatoes and lemons thin.
Very good! Tastes very much like Orange Marmalade.
