What to do with all your green tomatoes
If you find that you have more green tomatoes than you know what to do with, simply place them in a cardboard box in a cool, dark location.
I must admit that in the past I have forgotten to check regularly and found that all of a sudden I had boxes of very ripe tomatoes and needed to make a huge pot of spaghetti sauce - NOW. If that should happen to you, there are lots free online tomato recipes, as well as tasty tomato cookbooks on the Tomato Recipes page.
- Put some newspaper into the bottom of the box.
- Place your first layer of tomatoes on it. Do keep them separate so they aren't touching each other. That way if one goes bad it doesn't affect the rest of them.
- Cover with another layer of newspaper
- Add more tomatoes
- Keep layering to a maximum depth of 3 layers. You don't want it too deep as it makes it difficult to check how the tomatoes are ripening.
- Place the box in a cool, dry place and be sure to check the tomatoes at regular intervals.
