Green Tomatoes?
I have pounds and pounds and pounds of green tomatoes. I was about to have a bumper crop of tomatoes this year, and the tomatoes were just about to begin ripening on the vine.. to be ready in another week or so. BUT... thanks to the chilly Canadian cold front that blew through ... we got frost the first night, down to 28 degrees. I had covered the plants, and they survived.
Then last night, the weatherman said it was to be a warmer night, around 30, but I still covered everything. Got up this morning, and could not believe my eyes - my thermometer was registering 21 degrees.
I was just sick. So I went out to the garden and sure enough, all the tomatoes, frozen on the vines, solid. It was a sickening sight for me.
So, after doing some research, and checking around, I have found out that even if the tomatoes ripen after being frozen, they are not safe to can. So, I have a TON of green tomatoes, some of which may ripen, and some which are too green, and I'll either need to make them into something, or throw them away.
Said all that to say this... beyond fried green tomatoes... does anyone have a great recipe or use for green tomatoes?
