GREEN TOMATO AND LEMON MARMALADE

Here is a surprising, and quick, way to use up the green tomatoes that you couldn't resist at the farmers' market. Tangier, more complex and looser than most marmalades, this one offers candied slivers of fruit suspended in a thick, honeyed syrup that is just jellied enough to spread, yet runny enough to be dolloped over ice cream, or perhaps some leftover mascarpone.
