3 lbs. slightly green tomatoes
3 lbs. sugar
Juice of 1 lemon (I slice lemon thinly)

Slice tomatoes (peeling the tomatoes prior to slicing is optional). Add sugar and let stand overnight. In the morning, drain off syrup and boil until scum ceases to rise. Add tomatoes and boil slowly for 20 minutes. Then take them out and continue to boil syrup. Add lemon juice (or slices). Divide tomatoes into 3 pint jars and when syrup has thickened slightly, pour it over them. Seal.

I put the drained tomatoes back into the syrup and bring back to a boil - then place into 3 pint jars. Seal.
