I made these this past Sunday. The green tomatoes came from my garden. They crust was flavorful and the tomato was extremely tender and flavorful. My daughter loves them.

    These look absolutely divine. This post made me hungry! Funny though - I was just talking the other day to a friend of mine and we were discussing how you can not find green tomatoes at the grocery store so she has been wanting to make these but since she doesnt have a garden she has been out of luck. I know you grow your own but any tips on where she might look to find green tomatoes? I have not seen any either.

    teeni,
    Thanks! Do you have any local farms in your area? That would be an excellent place to purchase green tomatoes. :-)

    Beth,
    I turned out very well of course you can always add them to light oil also. I’ve done that in the past.

    Harmonia,
    You’re welcome. I hope you enjoy it.

    Tried these on Sunday. They were good and even got bold and experimented with squash on the grill using the same batter. Both were delish!

    Shelia,
    That’s great in India they make something similar I think it’s called vegetable pakora. Ive been thinking of making that for some time. Perhaps I’ll make it later today. :razz:

    I stumbled on these posts about fried green tomatoes while trying to find ides on canning green tomatoes. I remember seeing jars of them when I was a kid.
    Anybody know how to safely can them?
    Thanks

    Christopher,
    Thanks! My daughter loved them. She said these were her favorite.

    Bob,
    Check out Dori’s bakehouse. She does a lot of canning her website is http://thebakehouse.blogspot.com/2006/07/pressure-canning-soups-and-green-beans.html
    or here http://thebakehouse.blogspot.com/2007/02/using-harvest-part-3-tomatoes.html
    I store my green tomatoes in freezer bags like she mentioned in the above post and I store them in my deep freezer.

    Thanks for stopping by.
