What exactly does one do with green tomatoes?<\/h1>\n

I tried making fried green tomatoes – I liked them and so did my husband (the 8 year old kid not so much) but really how many can you eat?\u00a0 Once I tried making pickled tomatoes – this one was a big fail – maybe I didn’t get the brine right… this year I was asked by my husband “are you going to use the green tomatoes you froze last year?”? Quite possibly\u00a0he wanted them out of the freezer…\u00a0 so this year I tried making green tomato sauce – folks we have a winner.<\/p>\n

I have this problem throwing out food – I really hate doing it.<\/p>\n

I grow tomatoes every year.\u00a0 Last year and the year before the frost hit before I pulled out the tomato plants and flash froze the tomatoes right on the vine. I guess I was leaving them there in hopes they would ripen.\u00a0 No such luck.<\/p>\n

So I threw the tomatoes in the freezer last fall and there they sat.<\/p>\n

For almost a year… taking up space.<\/p>\n

Right – so I wondered if I could make tomato sauce out of it – and gave it a shot – It was good!!!! so I made it and canned 4.5 or so jars and plan to do the same with whatever is left on the vine this year too… If we don’t eat it or we have too much I\u00a0plan on giving\u00a0it away as teacher gifts along with the jams I usually make in the fall.<\/p>\n
