Green Tomatoes

As all women can attest to, I sometimes have a crusty old man in mine!

It was the Crusty + Cheesy that got me. Screen has been wiped. Weren't we going to do coffee at some point?

Sure were and should - so long as you don't spit it at me when I start talking about cheesy crusties!

I managed to lob off a branch of my tomatoes last week so added them to a chutney... can't wait to try it. I have also used them before in pasta sauces to add another dimension.

I always feel it's miles too early to make green tom chutney in August. Mid-September, ok - and still some will ripen.

and there's me thinking you knew all your onions..........

I do, I do - when they are raw. (Just about to lift the big ones to ripen off for the shows. Fingers crossed no surprises underneath)

Tried green tomato marmalade last year for a change. Still got jars left and still enjoying it on toast! Yum.

Brilliant, thanks for these replies. I will grow yellow Zebra next year but I will be making the chutney come September - not August, noted. River Cottage noted.
Green tomato marmalade, that sounds intreaguing, is it sweet, savoury? Description please Snadger.

There is also a recipe for Green Tomato Soup on here somewhere - now that is really nice! Will try to find it and put a link.

Shall we bring along our cheesy crusties?

[Rabidbun]

Determined to make some this year (have left around eight trusses per plant to make sure!) - last year I picked loads green but they all ripened within a week or two before I found a good recipe...

[taff]

theres a recipe somewhere for green tomato and vanilla jam too. i made some. it was nice.

With Davidstow Cheddar Extra Mature in fresh crusty bed - yum yum!

I love it with cheese on toast. Perfect.
