Here is one.I normally use corn flake crumbs (you can buy it at stores) instead of cracker crumbs, I like the outside crispy.I also like plenty of black pepper. (And I eat 'em with green tomato chow pickles. But, it's hard to find the good stuff).

Can your mother handle onion powder? It could be substituted.

GREEN TOMATO CHOW   

6 quarts green tomatoes
3 quarts onions
Salt
3 c. vinegar
1/2 c. pickling spice
7 c. white sugar

Slice the green tomatoes and onions. Add salt and let stand overnight. In the morning, drain off the juice. Add the vinegar, pickling spice and white sugar. (Wrap the pickling spice in cheese cloth.) Cook until soft. Make sure that you remove the bag of pickling spice. Bottle hot. )www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1610,156190)
