Tomatillo Tangerine Jam Verde Recipes

Steps:

• Remove fruity pulp from the tangerines. Boil the skins gently until tender enough to pierce with a fork. Cool, then scrape any white pith from the underside of peels. Chop peels coarsely.
• Zest the lemon, squeeze juice, and strain and save it. Need about 1/8 cup. Remove husks from tomatillos, wash sticky sap off them.
• Cook tomatillos with the salt in the 2 cups water until they are soft.
• Put the tangerine pulp, peels, lemon juice and zest in food processor. Add jalapeno, cilantro and tomatillos. Process until mixture resembles salsa consistency and cilantro and peels are finely chopped.
• Put mixture in heavy kettle. Bring to full boil, add the sugar except for 1/4 cup to mix in with the pectin. Stir well and boil 1 minute. Mix pectin with the reserved sugar, and add, along with the butter. Stir well, bring to boil again, boil 1 minute.
• Fill sterilized jars within 1/8" of rim. Clean rims with damp paper towel then add lids. Process in water bath canner 10 minute (check your elevation chart to see what your processing time is based on your location's elevation) Remove from canner, let sit and cool 24 hours.

Steps:

• Heat broiler, positioning a rack at the highest setting under the heat. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place tomatillos on top, stem side down. Broil 2 to 5 minutes, until charred on one side. Turn tomatillos over and broil 2 to 5 minutes longer, until charred. Transfer tomatillos to a blender, tipping in any juice that may have accumulated on the foil.
• Add chiles, onions, garlic (if using), cilantro and 1/4 cup water to blender and blend to a coarse purée. Transfer to a bowl and thin out as desired with water. Taste and adjust salt. Set aside for at least 30 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to develop.

Steps:

• Place tomatillos, onion, garlic, and chile pepper into a saucepan. Season with cilantro, oregano, cumin, and salt; pour in water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the tomatillos are soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Using a blender, carefully puree the tomatillos and water in batches until smooth.
