Gillena's Sunday Smiles - Unripe tomatoes


 A few weeks ago my friend S dropped by with these tomatoes from her garden that weren't ripening as the season is almost over.  I will keep them until hopefully they ripen.

My green tomatoes that I brought in didn't ripen and just rotted. Good luck with these.

Lots of tomatoes. I hope they ripen. I had a lot of raw tomatoes in the fall, fortunately almost all of them ripened inside.

Jenn Jilks said...

Good luck. We have a similar pile!

The ridged ones do look like green peppers.

Happy Sunday, Christine!

We had a small tomato plant this year which only produced a little bit of fruit

I've been told that keeping them warm and keeping apples right next to them will help with ripening.
Warm November greetings, dear Christine!

I pack them in a brown paper bag and they ripen.

Unripen tomatoes are great for laxative purposes

It might be time to experiment with fried green tomatoes, Christine - LOL!
Blessings!

the tomatoes will definitely ripen but the skin may be tough.

I put my green cherry tomatoes in a box in the sunniest window and they ripened up nicely.

Those look wonderful! Have you ever tried fried green tomatoes. I've never cooked them but there's this one restaurant where I order them and it's one of my favorite dishes. So nice of your friend to give you all of these.

Aren't you able to fry green tomatoes? Wasn't there a movie called Fried Green Tomatoes? :-)

These are some real cuties! Kay is right, green tomatoes can be fried. They're delicious. Wishing you a wonderful week.

I get mine to ripen, but they take forever to do so. I might try the paper bag trick suggested.
