My garden is about done, but I have some small green tomatoes that don't seem to be ripening or growing any bigger. I've never eaten a green tomato, so this morning I picked one off the vine to see what it tasted like: not half as bad as I thought honestly! I'm wondering if there are any ideas for canning them up? Or maybe, do they go good in a salad? I don't want anything super tart or sour that my family won't eat.

You could do fried green tomatoes. There is also green tomato mincemeat.

I love to make fried green tomatoes but you can also make jam or chutney, the jam is a little spicy since it has ginger in it.

We use more green tomatoes then red when they first appear in the garden. We devour fried green tomatoes. My daughter makes a relish from green tomatoes, the type you get at the fried catfish places.

iI have made this for many years. Besides on hot dogs and hamburgers it can be stirrred into tuna salad and deviled eggs.

I just love fried green tomatoes. Slice them up, coat them in flour and fry them in butter! Yum!

Have you goggled it ? I remember my Mother telling how a neighbor lady made a “mock apple pie” with green tomatoes. They said it was very good.

Oooh...I'm gonna put my goggles on and hunt down that recipe! (Love the typo! You know I'm kidding you. ) Honestly, it sounds way better than Ritz cracker mock apple pie.

All these ideas sound yum! Thanks for sharing! I like the idea for mock apple pie and green tomato chutney. My DH likes the idea of fried green tomatoes. I probably have enough to try them all!
