Loads of green tomatoes which have to be harvested soon (moving house soon). Any ideas how they can be used?

According to the film, you can fry them - but can't you also make green tomato chutney?

Yes depending on the recipe it can be quite nice. Try the one I posted last year in Season to Taste - Special Green Tomato Chutney. Seems to have been a hit with many grapes and it always goes down well in our house.

If at first you don't succeed, open a bottle of wine.

When you harvest them, leave the toms on the vine and store them somewhere dry and dark and they should ripen.

Have to say EB - your recipe is my favourite again this year - didn't wait for my toms to ripen, got stuck in big style with your recipe - lots of super tasting green tomato chutney for me, family and friends again this year! (hopefully won't run out this time!) Bernie

I made this the other day, not sure what the other recipe is as I am rather new to the forum but this chutney is really nice

As mentioned by terrier you should be able to ripen them - I've had a few green toms which have broken free of the plant in a bid for escape! Wrap them gently in newspaper, pop in a drawer and within a few days they should be ripe

Add a ripe banana (whole, onwrapped) and they will ripen quicker.

fried green tomatoes, yum
