Fellow growers,
Britbong here, slight panic as I have not correctly pruned my Toms, so I will have lots of under-ripe tomatoes towards the end of the English growing season.
So 2 questions- 1. Is there anything you can do with green tomatoes? Such as green tom chutney? Or preserve?
2. (Shit question, inb4 google, as I would like person exp.) what is the best way to ripen tomatoes on a window sill/off the plant?
If anyAnon can help much appreciated.

Also britbong.
Made some cracking Green Tomato Chutney a couple of years back. Go for it... It'll be rad!
I also made a load of tomato wine that year.

There's still time to lose the lower leaves and let them ripen, the season isn't over yet.
Green tomato chutney is awesome and recipes are plentiful.
Remember, when ripening off the plant, the fruit will never become sweeter, just redder and softer.

You could ripen them in a window sill, or you could make chutney. You could also slice them, cover them with breadcrumbs, and fry them. They're commonly eaten like that here in the Southern US.

This, fried green tomatoes are great... if you like fried shit. Slice. Egg wash. Bread in cornmeal, flour, salt n pepper. Fry hot and fast in appropriate oil (high temp. Read: NOT olive oil) or they get greasy. Fuck, now I'm hungry. Mine are all ripe, I'd trade you if I could. You can can red ones and eat em all year, green ones are a seasonal treat. Also, we /ck/ now.

Seriously, this.
Using the green ones is all good but if you want some to ripen
>Take the stem off the tomato, so it's just the fruit. No green stem left, as much as possible.
>Place them stem-hole side down, align them in a single layer. Do not stack them
>Keep them in around room temp in a sunny spot.
>???
>red tomatoes
>for tomatoes to last forever: once ripe, take wax emulsion and paint it onto the area where the stem was removed. Keep a single layer, stem-hole side down. They'll be good for weeks.
