No I cant help ya Ferdi on that one, never heard of it. Have you searched the internet cooking/recipe sites?

I make tomato jam from ripe tomatoes, has cinnamon & cloves in it and corresponding flavor. I have made a cheater recipe that my Mom used to make that is made from ground up green tomatoes and a box of raspberry Jello. Since her passing I got to thinking why should one be limited to raspberry, and have found that the flavor & color is limited only by the flavors of Jello available. I lived in the same place in TX for 11 yrs and the neighbor kids eagerly awaited the years batch of green tomato jam because every year it was a different flavor & color. Ok I'll fess up to letting the kid in me out in making it too. The Jello sets up pretty stiff and it is a very firm jam.
Holler or PM if ya need either recipe. I know some of the oldtimers around here, will put a feeler out to see if anyone has heard of the butter.
