Green Tomato Preserves

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!!
