Green Tomatoes - where to get some?

[Marmora Man]

Having just b******d up 10lb of green tomato chutney made with home grown, but green, toms I now want to make some more that doesn't have that elusive "burnt saucepan" flavour.

But where can I buy 2 kg of green tomatoes. All advice welcome.

PS: Will also be following up on the burnt jam pan thread to clean off the preserving pan.

sorry to hear that- i am planning green tomato chutney this week. maybe allotments would be a good source? if you dont get any where I might trade you my tomatoes for a jar in return -I'll try and guess their weight when the weather is better.

Acchhh, I feel your pain Mamora Man. I would ask tomato grower friends of yours whether you could have access to their tomato plants prior to pulling up. The majority of gardeners/allotment holders cannot be bothered with every remaining green fruit and they (the unripe tomatoes - not the gardeners!) usually end up on the compost heap. I would have given you access to mine, but our allotment has suffered terribly with tomato blight again this year - wouldn't want to give you those (yuk!).

As for your burnt pan, fret not...the advice on the thread is very, very, helpful. Perseverance is key though.

Good luck on both counts.

I'll see if we have any on our allotment, although I think the wife has already picked most of them...

I have quite a few green toms if you're still interested. A few of my plants have begun to succumb to blight so I've harvested all the remaining trusses which are still sound. I'm in Kelvington Rd, opposite side of the Aquarius from you.

Thank you every one - I now have an elegant sufficiency of green toms and will resume chutney making tonight.
