Green Tomato Chutney Recipe
Posted in Recipe Ideas, tagged green tomatio chutney, green tomatoes, recylceworks, tomatoes on September 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »
With the lack of sun, green tomatoes need a helping hand. They can be ripened by placing on a window sill but direct sunlight can make the skins tough. So pick all the fruits before the chance of frost and then store them in a dry dark place. A paper bag is good. Sylvia tells us that as a child she recalls putting them inside a chest of drawers. They will obviously need to be checked regularly to make sure they are collected and eaten at their best.
