I had to tear up my raised bed gardens this weekend and i ended up with a lot of green roma tomatoes. I've never made anything with green tomatoes before.
Must interesting to me now is pomodori verdi (green pasta sauce) but I haven't found a recipe from safe canning source yet.
What do you all do with green tomatoes at the end of the season?

I really love dilled green tomatoes, but it’s best with small cherry tomatoes, though these cut into quarters would probably be ok.
I also really liked hot pickles peppers and green tomatoes that I made a couple of years ago. They were mostly used in chicken tacos – dump a jar in with chicken breasts/thighs/legs and bake for an hour+, and then shred.
Make green tomato mincemeat.
Not kidding. It’s the best!
Rainbow tomato pepper jelly!! It’s divine over cream cheese with crackers around the holidays. I use it like a sweet spicy savory chutney and it is loved by all.
Green tomato chutney
Green tomato salsa! It’s so good!
Update : I was way off. 32 lbs washed green tomatoes. 3lbs red/redish.
Relish!
I sometimes have to pull my garden earlier than I’d like and I try to let those Romas and Marzanos ripen on their own. I put them in cardboard flats and wait up to 2 weeks to see which ones turn red. Any of them that stay green I usually add to salsa verde with tomatillos or throw them in the compost.
