Hi Glen, Jules, I love your videos. Please, if you have more recipes with green tomatoes. Here we are starting spring, but in 6 months, I will have lots of them. I would like to know other ways to eat them (I make jam). And, if you grow tomatoes in your garden, I recommend growing Cherrys late in the season, they don't need a lot of heat or sun to be ready ( I picked cherry tomatoes until August a in Argentina). Scuse my english. Un gran abrazo desde Bs As.Salud y felicidad😆🤗

I don't garden, but my grandmother from Nova Scotia would make a green tomato chow. It was a sweet relish with green tomato, onions, sugar, and spices. We would go to a pick your own tomato place at the end of the season and get a real deal on green tomatoes. We would all gather in the kitchen and do a production line and can as much as we could. It was delicious on hot dogs, hamburgers, and a whole lot more.

I slice and pickle them in apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic slices, oregano and red pepper flakes. It's a refrigerator recipe and the longer they sit the tastier they get! I make sandwiches with them or use them as an accompaniment to meals or snacks. Delicious!

It was not only a good idea, it was technically an imperative. Tape recording didn't exist in the US for another 15 years. Records of the day played over the radio sounded pretty bad, and were obvious. There basically weren't broadcast "networks" at that time as we understand them now. Radio was still only about 10 years old. Pretty much all radio programming was local. Listening to a radio station far away (like a couple hundred miles) was known as "DX reception" and was only practical during certain hours of the night and in certain seasons.

I am from near Indianapolis and here most dont know about using green tomatoes, but my family does a thin sliced green tomatoes almost like a chip but thinker about 6mm to 9mm. I wash the slices leaving them a little wet, then tos them in 1 cup APL 1/2 cup corn starch, pepper salt. Then skillet or deep fry until the sides and seed are a deep brown. The carry over cooking does not last as long as potatoes chips. My Uncle would so zucchini cucumbers and yellow squash that way to.

I'd ditch the lemons, chop the tomatoes, drain them and cook everything with the sauce. Blind baking the bottom crust helps keep fruit pies from having a soggy bottom crust.

I also don't believe it needs lemon juice. Green tomatoes are quite sour on their own. Really, this recipe looks like they just subbed green tomatoes into a basic apple pie recipe. I remember it tasting rather strongly of clove too, which I always think of as going well with raisins and orange peel. Sadly, green tomatoes are hard to come by without a garden of my own, so I won't be reliving those memories any time soon.

Also had lots of green tomatoes in my kitchen garden in Ottawa this fall and made the mock apple pie yesterday. It was outside of my comfort zone to replace apples with green tomatoes, but I was intrigued. I learned from you…and added lemon juice and some zest instead of a half of a lemon. I also put two heaping teaspoons of cinnamon, some nutmeg and a bit of pumpkin spice, since I couldn’t find allspice. I put in 4-5 Tablespoons of cornstarch. I always lattice my apple pies, so I put on a egg wash and sprinkled latticed top with sugar. It was delish!!! Mouth feel and taste like apple pie!!!! Fooled everyone!!!!! When I put the filling into the pie (didn’t par-bake), I thought the liquid would destroy the bottom crust. When I took the pie out of the oven, the filling came out in liquid form….but as soon as I cut into the pie 15-20 mins later, the liquid became thick like apple sauce! It is a very delicious way to use up garden green tomatoes! Thanks for the inspiration, Glen!!

I have used my last harvest green tomatoes as a neutral fruit to make jam. I cook it like you did but without lemon until tender then I add a fruit flavor by way of Kool-Aid or Jello and cook it down more with sugar and a drop or so of food coloring if needed. I think peach jello is my favorite flavor so far. I have also done this jam with watermelon rind minus the skin as the neutral fruit.

Due to food intolerances, I can't have most fruit jams - so every year my sister uses her green tomatoes to make me faux raspberry jam, and faux orange marmalade. She makes the jam as usual, but instead of pectin she uses raspberry or orange flavoured jello. She uses the soft flesh and the seeds of the tomatoes with the raspberry and the firm flesh next to the skin cut thin in the marmalade. She add lemon and orange zest to up the ante as well. I have no frame of reference, but hubby assures me they're a pretty good imitation!

I often heard my dad talk about Grandma's green tomatoes preserves. Dad grew up in the 30's. When she died, I got her recipes. The first recipe I made was her green tomato preserves. Her recipe didn't call for any pectin and it was too runny. I have experimented with different amounts of pectin and it never comes out the same. You're a better cook than I am so you'll figure it out. I also love green tomato pickles. I pick small green tomatoes and make them just like dill pickles except I like to add a little green bell pepper with it. That give it a really nice flavor. Grandma Merrill’s Green Tomato Preserves 2 qts Green Tomatoes 2 Lemons 4 Cups Sugar 2 boxes of Pectin (I use Sure-Jell) Wash and cut stem ends off tomatoes. Slice thinly, then measure. Slice lemons very thin and halve slices. Mix in large bowl with the sugar and leave over night. Then cook slowly with very little stirring until clear. This may require about two hours. Can while hot.
