Green Tomato Preserves image

Someone in Recipe Request was looking for a recipe and in my efforts to help, realized that there were very few recipes for green tomato preserves. I have used this simple recipe for years and have won several blue ribbons at county fairs. Update 11/24/2007: I made this again for the first time in many years. After the review, I did toss in 1/8 cup to 1/4 cup crystallized ginger. It really adds a wonderful taste. I'm listing that as an optional ingredient. The yield was 6 cups and the cooking time was 2 hours. Enjoy!
