Author Notes
It's November and I'm still canning! This is the last, absolutely last thing that I am going to can this fall. We've had a week of warm, well, sorta warm days and I picked the dregs of my tomatoes that were left on the vine: Romas, Black Russians, Golden Cherry, and a few I don't remember the names. I picked some green ones too. My lime tree is starting to produce a lot of limes. So this is the resulting jam that is sweet, sour, savory with little confetti like green specks throughout . I used the chile sparingly but if you can stand the heat, add more. —dymnyno
