We had two nights of frost this week which succeeded in smiting my tomato plants. So, I harvested all of the green tomatos, about 20 lbs worth. They are mostly "large plum" size or smaller with not a speck of any color but green to be seen. Now, what do I do with them? I don't remember what my mom's piccalli tastes like from my childhood and that's the only thing I can remember her ever using green tomatos for. I've seen recipes for a green tomato and apple "mincemeat" but I'm not fond of mincemeat myself. I might give this a try to give to my dad as mincemeat is his fave holiday pie. Anybody got any other ideas, the easier the better. Just too many tomatos to fry and, besides, most are too small for that. Oh, no-peeling recipes are a plus. Thanks.
