I asked if I could swipe her picture, and share her directions on my blog. She said, "Yes!"
Her directions in her words are as follow:
"ok people this is how I can green
tomatoes .. and yes it works....Be sure to get very green and a firm
green tomatoes.... slice them and pack in qt jars... I use wide mouth
because its easier to get them out....put 1 teaspoon canning salt in
jar and cover with cold water. seal and put in cooker large enough to
cover with 1 in. cold water. bring to a boil and then boil for 10
mins.. take out as soon as time is up.. when u r ready to cook..
Drain well and I dip them in cornmeal and fry.. I have been doing
this for years and they r always good...especially when its cold
outside.. But the tomatoes have to be a firm kind no juicy or they
will fall apart when u go to cook them... to me they taste just like
fresh ones"
Then another friend, Sandra, commented:
"I dipped mine in buttermilk before
putting them in a mixture of cornmeal & seasoned salt. They were
great! I will always make sure to have some of these on hand for
winter frying."
Now my challenge is to find some fresh, very green and firm tomatoes.

ReplyDeleteWow, these look so good. When I was young we would have fried green tomatoes with white gravy for Sunday breakfast.
