Lots and lots of very green, hard cherries
I'm a Sacramento, CA resident, thus so far there really hasn't been a reason my modest garden couldn't continue to pump out semi-ripe cherry tomatoes, which I could have later ripened to completion indoors. I've had to move recently, however, necessitating a full demolition and removal of all surviving tomato plants from the '11 season. You can see the result of this in the below pic. I have a good 2' x 2' x 6" load of very green, very unripe cherries (for the most part).
These come from Sungold F1, Black Cherry, Chadwick Cherry, and Sweet 100 plants. I'd like suggestions on how best to make use of this mass of green baby fruit. I know one can fry larger slices of green tomatoes, how about cherries? Is there a similar recipe? Salsa? I don't think the majority will ripen on their own, even given plenty of time and a banana. Some will, but most will not get there. So what can I do? I'd hate to just feed them to my worms. Looking forward to your suggestions. Thanks, Naysen |
