    This recipe for green tomato jam with ginger and vanilla (optional if you don't like the flavour - some people flavour with a stick of cinnamon removed at the end and some prefer the green tomatoes without any extra flavouring at all) is lush.

    My MIL brought me 1.5kg of small green tomatoes on Sunday. Last year, I made green tomato chutney (which was very nice) but my OH hates the smell of vinegar and he's still grumbling about it. I was going to try a River Cottage recipe: green tomato marmalade. Has anyone tried this or is there something else I can do with them that doesn't involve vinegar?

    Does anyone have any advice on this please? I'd like to know too as I've got around 100 green plum tomatoes that haven't ripened.
    I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.

    Okay, DH wants me to make green tomato chutney. I have tried growing plum tomatoes in the garden this year but they have not filled out very well, look almost shrivelled but are green still, lol.
    Do you use any tomato that is green (ie. underripe ones), or are there
    specific varieties used for chutney?
    Thanks for any advice and enjoy chuckling at me...

    You use green (as in unripe) tomatoes. If you grew plum tomatoes I doubt whether they are anywhere near even being usable, given that the whole tomato population of the UK seems to have been wiped out by the bad weather. I regularly grown plum tomatoes so I know that you mean by shrivelled, are they just very little and almost dry-looking? In that case they are just not edible. They should be of normal tomato-looking size, and full and plump, only green, not red. Just the stage before they get red. HTH
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).
