Guest guest Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 I'd make the mincemeat now and can it. But I am a creature of habit and that is what I usually do anyway. Cooking and freezing the green tomatoes ought to work, didn't someone recently post about freezing whole, unwashed tomatoes too?

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Hi everyone, I want to try out the vegetarian mincemeat recipe posted recently with green tomatoes and apples and make a pie out of it for the holidays. What would be the best way to save some green tomatoes now to have for it later in the year? Do you have to do anything special other than chop them to freeze them? Could I also add the chopped apples to the frozen tomatoes? Or would it be better to can the ingredients? I'm going to be making a trip to a farm market this week where I can get the green tomatoes and want to stock up for later. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Also, Captain D's serves fried green tomatoes, so probably already battered green tomatoes can be frozen??

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 I have never canned green tomatoes, but I have a friend who has and they were wonderful! --- turtle_mf <michfellows wrote: > Hi everyone, > I want to try out the vegetarian mincemeat recipe > posted recently with > green tomatoes and apples and make a pie out of it > for the holidays. > What would be the best way to save some green > tomatoes now to have for > it later in the year?

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Amy, Someone did just post on freezing tomatoes, I just wasn't sure if the same rules applied for green ones. I'm seriously thinking about canning the mincemeat already made like you said...that would make it easier when I'm ready to cook the pies anyway. But I love green tomatoes so much I wouldn't mind having some handy for other recipes in the winter also!

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Not sure if this will help. I recently made a green tomato pickle to can (I will be posting the recipe in the next few days). I used a combination of green tomatoes, some that are meant to be green, and some that were unrippened. Part of the batch I used in the relish I had previously frozen. I did wash them, and froze them whole with their peel on. Once thawed, I processed them for the relish. It worked out great. Other times I freeze paste or sauce tomatoes after blanching and peeling them. It all boils down to how many tomatoes do you have, how much time do you have, and how much processing do you want to do after you thaw them. , " Michelle Reeves " <michfellows wrote: > > Amy, > Someone did just post on freezing tomatoes, I just wasn't sure if the same > rules applied for green ones.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Hi Michelle ~ My mother and I always made the mincemeat, then canned it. Not sure how you'd go about saving green tomatoes. I hope I can get to the farmer's market and get some tomatoes - our mincemeat supply is terribly low. And it won't be Thanksgiving without those cookies! Cyndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
