The ones from the greenhouse are in a basket gradually ripening, as I've

The ones from outside plants were left just one day too late and a very
cold
night damaged most of them. I preserved a lot but the rest were showing
patches of mould, some quite large.


So tonight's supper was egg, bacon, mushrooms and fried green tomatoes -
no
salt, no sugar, nothing else.


I've heard of this but never had the courage to do it. I thought Spouse
would protest too. But we both enjoyed them! I'll never waste any again!


Green Tomato Jam is also very nice. Dunno what prompted me to try - maybe
just a bad ripening year in the 90's, and a glut of them.


Recipe?

Please :-)

There is also Green Tomato Chutney.


Boring. And we don't eat much chutney anyway. This year I made some plum
chutney (to my own, unrepeatable :-( recipe) because a neighbour brought
stones of plums. It's great with a strong chees such as Quicke's Cheddar
or Lincolnshire Poacher.


The wife of a freind of mine gave me a recipe for banana chutney and it is
delicious!
