Fried Green Tomatoes

fried green tomatoes

At the end of the season, pick all your tomatoes even if they're still green. Wrap them in newspaper and store them in a box in a cool dark place or in the bottom of your refrigerator. They'll keep for a long time.

Or, you could fry them up and enjoy them right away!
