ScarletRose: you can ripen them on a window ledge as individual tomatoes, also you can hang the whole bush/plant ina shed and they will ripen. If all else fails I've got a reciepe for green tomatoe pickle

ScarletRose: Tomatoe pickels
6lb green tomatoes,1qrt vinegar,.5 lb brown sugar, .75 lb onions, 1.5 teaspoons cloves, 2 teaspoons peppercorns, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, .25 lb raisins.
Slice tomatoes into a dish & sprinkle each layer with salt, leave overnight.
Boil up vinegar & spices & strain, slice onions & add to vinegar, drain tomatoes & add to other ingrediants, simmer until tender, bottle when cold.

well hope you have some success with this.

skipinnz: Thanks.. that sounds yummy!! whoo hoo.. will have some more stuff to make.. :)

skipinnz: thanks for that also LOLOL.....it might be a good thing to explain what raisins are...I sent recipes to people in USA and they always ask what raisins are...Im not saying everybody but it does seem strange that they ask.

Bernice: Really? some folks dont know what raisins are and they are in the US? wow, that surprises me big time. I grew up watching tv ads from the US for the California Raisins ( heard it thru the grapevine song) - In Canada we get nearly every US TV channel so we see all the US ads.

Rose: Good grief, of course we know what raisins are!!

Dolittle: I would hope so i love raisins in cereal and rice pudding.

ScarletRose: Wow thats alot of toms.You can also fry them green.I dip them in egg and than flour thats been seasoned with salt,pepper and garlic powder.Yummy.Ours get ate too fast around here or juiced.My garden isn't that big for that many plants.Good Luck
