I tried making the jam, but after spending an age skinning the green tomatoes (there's no easy way - or if there is could someone tell me ??) I managed to burn the jam to the bottom of the pan - badly !! :-(

This is an extraordinary pickle. Once you have tasted it you will never again forget that the tomato really is a fruit. It goes well with cheese, even better with pâtés and terrines.

I thoroughly agree with valmarg on this. I made it last year and loved it - cracking with cheese, cheese and a bit more cheese please!

Unfortunately there is.

I made a curry with my green tomatoes as they were starting to get blight.

I never bother skinning green tomatoes, but obviously if they've got any grotty marks or signs of blight you should cut these out. The only tomatoes I skin are really ripe ones, and then I often don't bother. Just made some oven roasted tomato, pepper, garlic & onion pasta sauce. Just coat in a little oil, roast in the oven, leave to cool, blitz with a stick blender and pack into containers and freeze (AND LABEL!! - reminder to self, label everything)

Ok I'm bumping this thread cause I've got blight - AGAIN, and am getting all the toms off all plants whether blighted or not (although the non blight plant toms are going in windows to ripen

Absolutely bladdy amazing how quick it came on - less than 24hrs

And my tatties aren't affected - yet - either
