Green Tomato Chutney

[CatherineJ]

Has anyone ever made any?

Basically my 2 tomato plants started to die about a week ago, but the tomato's that were there havent.

I would like to try and make some use of the tomato's before I throw the plants in the bin.

I'm trying to work out if I can do green tomato chutney, the tomato's aren't huge and I want to know if I can use them safely.

leave em for a little while an they should go red.

not sure if you have to leave them in the sun or not, but my nan always used to do that when one of her plants died (or she lied to me and bought some red ones )
