Pickled green tomatoes are a southern delight. I used to make sweet
pickles with them and also made bread and butter pickles with green
tomatoes. Green tomato relish, etc. Lots of ways to use up green tomatoes.

That's my favorite; wish I could find a few jars. My mother (88 y/o) still
makes such things; but, this year, we knew no one with enough green tomatoes
to do it. Even the local farmers market had very few green tomatoes to
offer.
