ubereglu Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Hi, As our tomatoes still haven't decided to go red yet Do any of you have a recipe on how to make green tomato chutney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 I think Claret still has green tomatoes too. I've written this as a post on the Practical Poultry forum too. So if I get a recipe in the end I'll put it on here for you and Claret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Mine were mostly green untill the chickens ate them. Just be patient! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 How about this one:- Green Tomato Chutney 1kg green tomatoes, co"Ooops, word censored!"ly chopped 115g fresh ginger, thinly sliced 3 fresh green chillies, seeded and chopped (wear gloves!!) 23 large garlic cloves, chopped 1tbsp brown sugar 1tsp seas salt 570ml cider vinegar Put all ingredients except vinegar in a saucepan, then add half the vinegar and bring to the boil. Simmer - stirring frequently for about 20 minutes until the ingredients are tender. Add the remaining vinegar. Bring to the boil again, then simmer until the chutney is well reduced and you can draw a line through it with a spoon which doesn't immediately fill up with liquid. Ladle into clean, warm, dry jars. Cover with vinegar proof lids and seal. Store in a cool, dark place for one month before using. You can ripen your tomatoes successfully by putting them in a brown paper bag with a ripe banana. I do this with all my green tomatoes because no one in my house likes chutney apart from me!! If you don't have a banana, just one already ripe tomato will do the same job. Take the ripened ones out of the bag as they are ready, remembering to leave one red one in to help the others ripen. It really works! Honest!!

Lesley Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I made a Delia recipe last year which uses the sweet spices like cinnamon - it was lovely. I'ts not on her Deliaonline site so I'll have to find it - I only have one Delia book so it shouldn't be difficult, it's the gardening one. I did find a recipe for runner beans while i was looking though - i'll post it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Thanks for that Kate and Lesley. I'll give those a go, but Kate don't you mean 2/3 garlic cloves rather than 23? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 The book definitely said 23 ! Maybe it was a typo in the book? I'm sure you can cut that down a tad ! This is from another book and I made this version a few years ago. It's very good. 1½ lbs green tomatoes - chopped ½ lb brown sugar ¾ lb cooking apples - cored and chopped ½ lb chopped onions ½ tsp cayenne pepper ½ pint vinegar 4 oz sultanas ¾ lb sugar 1 tsp ground ginger Boil all ingredients together until thick and stiff like jam. Pour into small pots. Seal and keep in cool, dry place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
