Green Tomato Chutney with Ginger and Red Pepper
10 cups green tomatoes, coarsely diced 1 medium red pepper, diced 1 1/2 cup currants, raisins or chopped dates 1/2 cup fresh ginger root, peeled and thinly slivered Grated rind of one lemon 4 cup sugar 3 cups white vinegar 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp whole cloves 3 bags stick cinnamon (about 2 in each) tied up in cheesecloth 1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg 1 Tbl curry powder 1 tsp red pepper flakes (to taste) Combine all ingredients in a large heavy preserving kettle or Dutch oven. ( Avoid using pure, thin stainless steel. The chutney burns quite easily because of its high sugar content.) Bring to a boil slowly, stirring to help dissolve the sugar. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring often until chutney is dark and syrupy, about 2 hours. Remove spice bag. Pour into clean hot preserving jars to 1/4" from the sealing edge. Seal with metal lid and sealing band. Process in a boiling water bath 10 minutes for pints and 1/2 pints. Makes about 2 to 3 pints. |

I just found this one in a cookbook today. sounds really yummy. I'm assuming that they mean the green unripe tomatoes and not the green when ripe tomatoes. I can't wait to try this one next year.
Green Tomato Chocolate Cake 2/3 cup butter 1 ¾ cups sugar 4 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 2 ½ cup sifted unbleached flour ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp baking soda ¼ tsp salt 1 cup beer 1 cup pureed green tomatoes ¼ to ½ cup water (optional) Preheat oven to 350 Grease a 9x13 pan. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the chocolate, then the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mix to the butter mix alternately with the beer and tomatoes. If the batter appears stiff, add the water. (the moisture content of the tomatoes varies). Turn the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 35 mins, until a tester insterted in the center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. Ice with your favorite frosting or serve plain. This is a very rich, moist cake.
