Thanks! Very helpful! I didn't think to do that. My head is just spinning looking at all these green tomatoes, and wondering what to do with them. Also, my local extension office said since the tomatoes have already been frozen, that they are not safe to can. So, I can only use freezer recipes.

Thanks MawMaw! I am planning on making most of them into salsa verde, and plan on baking lots of green chicken enchiladas this winter!

How about crab apple recipes? Anyone?

A friend of mine gave me a boatload of crab apples. I boiled them down last night, and will be using the juice from the boiled down apples in my morning smoothies. I made the remainder of the apples into applesauce. I don't really care for jellies or jams, or anything high in sugar.

Had poked around on the Internet for other ideas to using them beyond applesauce or as juice/cider. Most recipes involve a lot of sugar, which I am trying to avoid. So I was going to maybe play around with cooking them with chicken, like maybe a sweet and sour crab apple chicken? Anyone ever done this? LOL.

The only thing I've ever done with crab apples
is make jelly. The applesauce idea sounds good!

Really? Interesting! ... So, did you cut them into quarters to dry? And then how do you plan to eat them after they have been dried?

I had the juice from the boiled down crab apples in my smoothie this morning, and it was pretty good. I am going to try to use the unsweetened applesauce in breads etc. Just curious if anyone had ever tried cooking crab apples in a meat dish. I haven't found any recipes for that.
