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 !! :-(

PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES



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

[Scottishnewbie]

going to get 5,000,000 green tomatoes in tomorrow i think as they are looking a bit sorry for themselves and suspect blight so just wanted to make sure i could find this thread again! Some brilliant recipes - thanks grapes

[reetnproper]

Well thank God for you guys.

As only 1 of my 1 zillion Ailsa Craigs looks like it's finally changing colour and the plants themselves are looking more than a little sad and bedraggled, I was beginning to think that I would be composting my entire crop .

NOW I can make soup (do you know wether or not it freezes well Two-Sheds?) and chutney (to go with my 1 billion jars of pickled cucumbers ) and the jam sounds - urmmm - interesting (seeings how mys trawberry crop didn't make it beyond the hands of my 2 enthusiastic little helpers ).

Thanks again,
Reet

Green Tomato & Pepper Relish



INGREDIENTS
24 large green tomatoes
3 red bell peppers, halved and seeded
3 green bell peppers, halved and seeded
12 large onions
20 g celery seed
35 g mustard seed
20 g salt
1000 g white sugar
475 ml cider vinegar

DIRECTIONS
1. In a grinder or food processor, coarsely grind tomatoes, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and onions. (You may need to do this in batches.) Line a large colander with cheesecloth, place in sink or in a large bowl, and pour in tomato mixture to drain for 1 hour.

2. In a large, non-aluminum stockpot, combine tomato mixture, celery seed, mustard seed, salt, sugar, and vinegar. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

3. Sterilize enough jars and lids to hold relish (12 one-pint jars, or 6 one-quart jars). Pack relish into sterilized jars, making sure there are no spaces or air pockets. Fill jars all the way to top. Screw on lids.

4. Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with boiling water. Carefully lower jars into pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary, until tops of jars are covered by 2 inches of water. Bring water to a full boil, then cover and process for 30 minutes.

5. Remove jars from pot and place on cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press top of each lid with finger, ensuring that seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Relish can be stored for up to a year.

Any suggestions on the type of vinegar to use? If I used pickling vinegar could i omit the ground pickling spice?
