What to do with alot of unripe tomatoes?

This is the first year that I had a bumper crop of tomatoes. Since I can only plant in containers, I don't usually get a boatload of tomatoes - but this year - all the stars aligned and I was picking ripe red ones every day.

Now - there's a lot of unripe green tomatoes on them and the nights are getting pretty chilling here in NJ. What can I do with them? I'm not into canning - so that's out.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Tess

Green Tomato Bread

3 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp vanilla
2 cups grated and drained green tomatoes*
3 cups flour
1-1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3/4 cup raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts

Beat together: eggs, sugar, brown sugar, olive oil, salt, vanilla, and green tomato.
Mix together: flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, walnuts
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. If too watery, add additional
flour. Pour the mixture into two well greased bread pans, or 4 mini loaf pans. Bake at 350F for approximately 45 minutes, a little less for the mini loaves, start checking with a toothpick after 30 minutes.

Pat’s notes: Delicious. Tastes just like zucchini bread to me. *Easy to grate in food processor on the large shred disk, then put in a strainer and press lightly to drain the majority of liquid from the tomato.

Green tomato pickles

My mom used to make these. They were sliced very thinly and were quite crisp, as I recall.
