I always leave most of my greens on the vines until I pull them. Then I put the large maters into brown bags,or just a cardboard box.Then place them in a dark section of my cellar,they will eventually turn red. The smaller ones, I pickle or make a relish.I do have recipes for both, but they can be hard to translate. Also,yes fried green maters are delicious. Kenny Quote \| Reply \| Report

Then I dip them in buttermilk, and dredge in floor, and fry them in a skillet. Quote \| Reply \| Report

It's getting into the 30's at night. I've always done the paper bag trick and it does work..most of the time. Quote \| Reply \| Report

Canada Posts: 424	Posted: Oct/15/2006 1:25 PM PST Putting green tomatoes in a paper bag with a couple of apples works better from what my dad told me last week. I have lots of green tomatoes to and I did put the bigger ones in a paper bag with apples and they are starting to turn red, but the ones I left in the buckets are also turning red, so who knows which is the better way.
