The recent cold weather has finished off the tommy plants but they still have a lot of green tomatoes on them, it seems a shame to throw them in the compost. Any ideas please.

Doesn't need to be a sunny windowsill - just in the house is fine - if kept in too warm they will shrivel a bit before they redden up.

Make green tomato pickle. You Will Need:
2 kg green tomatoes
5 – 6 onions
½ c table salt
1 dsp golden syrup
3 c sugar
1 large tin pineapple pieces (size according to your preference)
¾ c flour
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tbsp turmeric
1 tbsp mustard
Vinegar
Method:
Finely chop onions.
Cut up your green tomatoes, add chopped onions, and sprinkle both with salt.
Let tomato and onion mix stand for two hours, stirring a few times.
Pour off liquid and cover with vinegar.
Boil until tender.
Drain pineapple pieces and retain the juice.
Add pineapple, golden syrup, and sugar to tomatoes and boil another 10 mins.
Thicken with flour and spices mixed together with pineapple juice. Simmer until pickle thickens. Courtesy fresh in the kitchen.

Thanks for the replies. Very helpful. I will keep a few on the window sill to ripen and have a go at the pickle. I have never made pickle, chutney etc. so it will be interesting!!

easy as to make....christopher53.... I made my recipe just the other day, the crushed pineapple dose get the coverage through the pickle well, tasty. You could cut the pieces down, but make sure they are not too hard.
