I'm going to give it a try. I remember Mom make what she called Mock Apple Pie out of green tomatoes and I couldn't tell the difference. I'm going to have enough green tomatoes to give it a whirl!

Thanks thats great. I will pass the recipe to all my fellow vegetable growers. What type of vingar do you use ? Over in England we have brown malt, white malt, white wine, red wine or cider vinegar. What colour is the one you use ? Thanks again your recipes are amazing.

Sounds yummy Boo. Then do you use it like apple pie filling?

I've heard of that recipe before but it's been called Green Tomato Mincemeat. I have some friends that make gallons of it every year. You probably use it just like mincemeat pie filling.

I was googling for a green tomatoe pie recipe and found this site. I don't think it is concidered commercial. There are some wonderful sounding recipes for ripe or green tomatoes.
