      A much nicer idea than the one shown. It would bring out the natural sweetness of the tomatoes and peppers and reduce both acidity and the raw edge of the onions. But what the hell do you use the stuff for afterward? It doesn’t seem very appealing to me.

      -In large stainless steel saucepan, combine tomatoes,peppers,onions,garlic and lime juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in cilantro,cumin,oregano,salt and black pepper. Reduce heat and boil gently, stirring frequently, for 5 mins. Remove from heat.
      - ladle hot salsa into hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch (1 cm) headspace. Wipe rim, center lid on jar. Screw band down until resistance is met, the increased saw to fingertip-tight.
      - place jars in canner, ensure they are completely covered with water, bring to a boil and process both 8-ounce(250ml) and pint(500ml) jars for 20 minutes: remove canner lid. Wait 5 minutes, then remove jars, cool and store.

My tomato plants were always loaded with green tomatoes when the first frost killed my tomato and pepper plants!

    When I had lots of green tomatoes, I made a raspberry jam with them. You use 4 cups of green tomatoes blended, 4 cups of sugar , and bring it to a boil , then simmer for 1 hour . Than you add 2 packages of raspberry jello , simmer for 30 minutes . That’s it and can. Sooo yummy

    Hi Miss Sarah, enjoyed your video. Have a little trick for your ripening tomatoes and storage after the summer harvest. If you have room in a cool area rip out your plants and hang them upside down this will allow ripening on the vine at a slower rate. And in about a month they can still be picked off the vine. When all your tomatoes are picked put the left overs into the composter and get them ready for next year.

So excited until I read that the tomatoes also needed to be peeled. I didn't catch that you didn't peel them at first. I guess maybe I am used to seeing you peel tomatoes and missed it. I will peel mine to be safely canned according to our (yours & mine) favorite canning book.

      I'm thinking that chopper looks cool too! And while I love mincing my garlic the good traditional way (trim, smash, peel and mince...) I found a lovely way to do the job quickly a while back -- *not* a garlic press -- it's like a little curved stainless steel rocker about 8" long. I try to restrain myself to what is truly useful and simple but I am fond of gadgets. To think that I got along with just a good chef's knife (still have it), a pot and cast iron pan, cutting board and a big wooden spoon. Got fancy a lot later with a paring knife and a Dutch oven. And then a real pepper mill, saute pan, another pot, more spoons when I turned 30. But I ramble...

      @@lauriepollock4175 the chopper is nice but don't cut your pieces too thick before putting in the chopper - I've already broken 2 at the hinges because I think I put potatoes in there that were too thickly sliced. I'll probably end up buying a 3rd one, eventually, because onions tear me up when I hand chop them, but I will probably not use it on potatoes anymore.

    you can always pickled green tomatoes and they are delicious .
    this is a recipe from the old country Palestine ,
    you could either half the green tomatoes or leave them whole ,
    squeeze as much as you can in a jar ,
    add whatever suits your taste , peppers ,
    garlic ,
    black pepper berries ,
    allspice berries ,
    bay leaf ,
    green hot peppers or red hot peppers ,
    coriander seeds which is the same as cilantro seeds ,
    turmeric powder ,
    it is not necessary to use salt but if you like to that's no problem ,
    in a different deep pot boil water and vinegar , one cup of vinegar for every 3 cups of water ,
    put the jars in the sink and allow some hot water to run around the pickle jars this way they won't crack ,
    then pour the boiling vinegar and water in the jars put the lids on ceiling them immediately ,
    put them upside down on a tray for 2 weeks then a upright for another 4 weeks ,
    bon appetit .
    this method of pickling can be use with just about whatever can be pickled ,cucumber, cauliflower , turnips ,beets , peppers green and red ,
    the main thing to keep in mind is fresh clean vegetables as possible ,
    one of the most delicious pickles are cauliflowers with the addition of turmeric powder to the pickle jar ,
    cauliflower pickles will gain a yellow color ,
    or couple of beats if you want the cauliflowers to have a burgundy color ,
    make sure to dissolve the turmeric powder in the water and vinegar before you added to the jar .
    pickling is one of the ways that my ancestor sustains them self through the harsh Winters for millennials in the land of Palestine .
