  • Blighted plants and green tomato chutney

    Maybe not the correct forum, but it's disease-related. My tomatoes have blight. I've taken many green toms off in an attempt to ripen them (keeping an eye out for any browness!). I was always intending to make some green tomato chutney. Is this not a good idea, given that I won't know whether the toms themselves are harbouring the blight bug? (I know some must be as a couple of my trying-to-ripen ones have indeed turned brown)

    TIA

    Blight doesn't do us any harm so it's OK to eat the ones that look OK and green tomato chutney sounds a good idea. Obviously don't take the ones which are properly blight hit as they're yucky but other than that you'll be fine. If you need a recipe then somebody (possibly Earthbabe???) posted one last year and it's really nice.

    Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

    Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

      Made chutney with mine. As long as the fruit are sound when you cook them the vinegar and spices will take care of the rest. Blight will not develop when the fruit is preserved in any way. BTW I always add a few chillies to my chutnies.
