I seem to be likely to have quite a lot of green tomatoes. Has anyone any suggested recipes? The ones found by googling seem likely to be a bit sweet and not as explosive as I remember my old next-door neighbour making, but she was old stock, having been married to a Colonel Slaughter and actually stationed with the British Army in India, don-cher-know.

I recollect no apple flavours in hers, but possibly pickling spice and maybe a hint of clove. Chili and maybe ginger could have been in there too.

My neighbor gave me a jar of her green tomato relish, and it's a wonderful sweetish relish. I've since then tried a couple of other versions of it, and I had a bunch of green cherry tomatoes that had to be picked (I had a bunch of volunteers and couldn't get into the garden any more because of them). I got them before they started to blush and gave enough to a friend to make and can a batch. He's even entered it in the state fair this year!

Last year I had tons of green tomatoes at the last frost and am sorry to say that while many of them slowly ripened, a lot of them went into the compost. Never again!

Why not indulge your fantasies and throw them at 10 year old sexual perverts?

Apple vinegar will add more fruit flavor.

Maybe you have a point...........oh yeah.......I recall it now.........You want to turn them into soap.........I believe you said, "They'd make better soap than they would human beings."

Yep.....I got it wrong. Green tomato throwing would be a poor substitute...............

wow there are thousands of recipes...how much in a bottle of treacle?
is this the same as molasses?

yum-fried green tomato B.L.T. sandwiches were on one of those sites.
if you wrap green tomatoes in newspaper when you store them after picking before frost they have a better survival rate.

Fool. I wasn't fantasising about anything. That's all inside your head, where presumably it has plenty of space.
