LOL - Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is an all-time camp great. Made #1 worst movie ever made. What a hoot! On green tomatoes, I have had great success (and small jars have become requested Xmas gifts, etc.) using the green tomato chutney recipe in Joy of Cooking. Still have some from last year's batch, thank goodness, since my tomatoes this year left a lot to be desired (as in there weren't a lot). Fried greens are great, I do them the same way as fried eggplant (which did do very well this year... have several premade eggplant parmigians in the freezer for cold winter nights - also tons of prepared zuccini ready to include in a variety of recipes). Canned eggplant as ratatouille, and as a cous cous stew base (basically different seasonings), both with onions and zuccini. Just open a jar, saute some meat (stew meat, lamb, sausage) and a great, quick homemade meal from the garden - all winter long. Also, lots of relish, including sweet zuccini relish (haven't tried it yet) and B&B pickles - we liked these so much last year, using the leftover juice for barbeque sauce, that this year we just saved all the leftover juice from canning, and canned it with a few extra spices as B-sauce. Not for steak tho, too sweet. More mid-winter treats - just pull out the sauce and some chicken or pork, and slow bake... yum yum. Garden just about gone here - taking off the last of the basil for pesto but some is tinged with black frost marks. Still have eggplant and green tomatoes on the bush... Made a "barrel" of hot pepper jam last week. One more canning session - got to make that chutney - and then a long winter trying to decide on what to plant next year. If anything here sounds good, would be glad to provide recipes... if i can remember what i did. LOL
