The objective of this study was to evaluate jam and jelly made from husk tomatoes which addition with different juices(orange and carrot juice), all the treatment were examined for physicochemical, sensory and microbiological characteristics. Also, check the effect of storage period on the quality of husk tomato jam. The results showed that protein, fiber, ash, moisture, pH, non-reducing sugar, vitamin C and total carotenoids were decreased by increasing  of storage period, while, total soluble, total acidity, reducing sugar were increased. As the storage period increased. While, microbial growth was slightly increased at storage conditions. The microbial growth in jam was under the limit up to the end of storage period. Hence, the prepared jam was safe and suitable for consumption up to 6 month. The organoleptic evaluations showed that the good qualities among all the treatments gave the best acceptability. In conclusion,the husk tomatoes jam and jelly showed a good sensory acceptability.
