Too late now... . but if you have unripe tomatoes on your plants, pull the plants out, hang upside down in a dry airy place, and they will continue to ripen. Strange but true.

you will need to adjust the old measurements as this is a very old recipe, my mum used to make it all the time and its yummy, even anathoth`s brand in the shops is no where near as nice:
Green tomato pickle 6lb green tomatoes 2lb onions 2lb sugar 4 level tablespoos flour 2 level tablespoonsof curry powder 2 oz salt 6 chillies 2 level dessertspoons mustard powder Water and vinegar
Peel the onions, chop onions and tomatoes small, sprinkle with salt and stand overnight, pour the brine away in the morning. Place the tomatoes and onions in a pan and barely cover with vinegar mix the mustard and curry into a paste with some of the vinegar and add with the sugar and chillies to the tomato/ onion mix. Boil for ½ hour, make a paste with the flour and some water and stir into the pickle, boil for 10 mins.

making up the relish/pickle now, have cut back by 1 cup sugar, will keepyou informed. would love the recipe for jam. now that sounds really different. my mum used to make tomatoes into rasp jam, but you cant buy the king red cordial anymore. anyone got a good idea for a substitue.

Green tomato and ginger jam: 6lb green tomatoes 6lb sugar or what you think if you dont wnat to use this much probably would go for 5½ lb 6 lemons 6oz preserved/crystallised ginger Into a large preserving pan slice 3 of the lemons finely (like you would for marmalade) add the tomates either sliced or chopped Add the juice of the 3 remaining lemons and the ginger. Stand overnight or for at least 8 hours. Next day bring to the boil, add the sugar and boil until it will set when tested. Bottle. It will set fairly quickly. Sorry it's not in metric but is a really old family recipe
The one with ripe tomatoes and raspberry cordial umm no I haven't got that one nor any idea of a substitute sorry.

the 1 cup less in the relish turned out lovely, still hated the funny greyish colour, so in went the food colouring. Made tomato soup with the rest of toms. will put up recipe tomorrow.
