Green toms

[Tengu]

Got given a load.

(I have already made some `random` chutney, though it will need a few weeks to mature and taste...)

any other recipes??

Or failing that, any ideas as to how to make them go a brave red colour?? (ones already yellow, though I hold little hope for the rest)

Pop them next to a bunch of bananas and it should speed the ripening process.

I made some chutney a couple of months ago with a glut of greens from my garden, maturing a treat and lovely with a bit of stilton!

I leave mine on the inside brightly lit window sil.

I didn't grow any red ones this year

I had about 5. I bunged my green ones into a brown paper bag with 1 ripe tomato. Takes about a week, but it seems to work.

ours didnt grow into nice red ones either
i put the on the window sill in the conservatory cause the most light gets in there
only a few ripened tho

I have brought the hanging basket with tumbling toms inside this week in some vague hope i might get bush ripened cherry toms for yule. That just sounds plain unnatural to me.

What is the recipe for green tomato chutney?
Is there any other recipes out there?

Bananas and ripe apples do the reddening thing, but otherwise they are nice in curries or just pan fried

I happen to like them best covered in a wheat flour/corn meal mix and then fried.

I used the river cottage recipe from the rc cookbook, it must be online somewhere?
