Cant tell you about BER on tomatoes, but on watermelons, I just cut the end
off and the rest was delicious.

If you let them ripen maybe you could use them in canned sauce or salsa.
You are lucky. You can grow tomatoes, I got 24 from 24 plants last year.

I'm trying to save my plum tomatoes which I think are indeed suffering

from
blossom end rot. Can I pick them green and plump, but before the rot is
evident, and ripen them in brown paper bags or on my windowsill? Will the
rot still come out?
Or, shall I let them ripen on the vine and then cut off the bottoms and

use
them anyways for cooking. I'm hoping to salvage a massive batch of sauce I
have planned. There is a lot of advice about preventing the rot for future
years, but I still don't know if the crop is completely lost or if I will

be
able to use the fruit.
Thanks for iding the problem!
