Green Tomato Preserve

Take ten pounds of green tomatoes sliced thin, six lemons sliced, picking out all the seeds.

Do not peel the lemons. Add one cup of water and a small box of preserved ginger and let boil one half hour. Add eight pounds of sugar; let all boil slowly on back of stove until syrup is thick, stirring often. A small handful of dry ginger root may be used in place of the preserved ginger. Let the dry ginger-root stand overnight in cold water, then slice and add to the tomatoes.
