Frost & Green Tomatoes


The tomato plants finally wilted in the cold weather. I picked most of the tomatoes green and brought them inside. I've been advised to put them into a bag with a banana to get them to ripen. They've been slowly ripening on their own, a few at a time. I think they look beautiful in the shiny green state.

What's the banana do? Does this technique work?

And the aprium was delicious. Do the lovely bits of fruit make it preserves, as opposed to jelly or jam?

The banana has gas that makes the tomatoes red.
Glad you liked the preserves. Yes on the chunks categorizing it as preserves.
