Ripening green tomatoes
It's looking like my last few tomatoes aren't going to ripen on the vine as I hoped and I'm not sure I've got enough to turn into chutney.
I've googled a few ideas for ripening them indoors but not sure which one to go for. Anyone got a surefire method for me to try?

Put them with over ripe fruit, apples or whatever. The ripening fruit gives off a gas which triggers other fruit to ripen. Also rose petals work similar. Conversley, introducing rotting apples to your cold frame will hasten the flowering process.

Put them in a brown paper bag with a banana.

I have 700g you can have if you want them - moving soon so no time to make or jars to put in :-(.

I put tomatoes on the windowsill and they ripened in about a week - kept the rest in the fridge and did them in batches as I could only do a few at a time - they were mini toms mind.
I also found some great recipes for green tomatoes (none of them Chutney): Enjoy!

Fry them.
Fried green Tomatoes isn't just a book and film, it's a recipe as well. (Who knew?)
Slice them thickly, dust them in semolina or similar, and fry.

Make some Green Tomato Chutney - Delia has just the most yummy sort: http://www.auldfarminn.ca/Green%20Tomato%20Chutney.pdf I think this is her recipe but its in her big black book (never remember its name!) but I sometimes buy the greeen toms off Green Lanes purely to make this!

Don't think I have enough for chutney, but we did throw some into a curry last night with the 3 tiny cauliflowers I grew this year. I like the look of the Slater chicken recipe. We did Fried Green Toms a couple of years back. I'll probably try a bit of everything suggested here.
