I am having trouble with slugs and snails eating my tomatoes. I did try picking just before they were ripe, but then they started eating those!
So, Tuesday, on my day off, I picked 2lbs of green tomatoes and made green tomato chutney. It involves 2 1/2 hours simmering, so using up a lot of gas!
It smells nice, and the scrapings of the pan tasted nice - though not spicy but that will happen in the 3 months I have to wait.
I have 3 jars of chutney which should be ready for Christmas.
I am not keen on green tomato chutney. In fact I don't like any chutnies or pickles. But one good way of using up green tomatoes if you have any left is to fry them. They are lovely fried for a few minutes in a little olive oil, the frying brings out the sweetness of them.
ReplyDeleteI love chutney - even thinking of chutney makes my mouth water! Will try frying green tomatoes - thanks for the tip.
