What a blessing to know that the food in your freezer was grown by your family, and has no preservatives, etc. It's such a satisfying feeling, in spite of all the work you did to make it happen! I am still canning tomatoes, and have squash and pumpkins to deal with next. I'm not complaining, though! LynnB

Green Tomatoes?

Do you just substitute or is there a special recipe? And, are green tomatoes just unripe tomatoes, or are they a "breed" all their own?

I am embarrassed by my ignorance, but you are such a great resource for info, I had to ask!

Have a great day,

Patti

Harvest time is a blessing!

Lynn, it is satisfying, isn't it? It gives the saying, "An honest day's work" a whole new meaning! Sounds like you are doing very well food-wise and have your hands full with building! We still have some squash to harvest and some more seeds to gather for saving, but we are pretty much wrapping things up food-wise!

Patti, do not be embarrassed to ask! :) Green tomatoes are actually unripened red tomatoes. We are preparing for frost weather. Once it frosts, we will begin to lose our tomatoes, so need to harvest them before more frost occurs and are coming up with alternative recipes to use for them. Thanks for asking!!
