TEXOKIE :" GREEN TOMATO recipe alert:"
I was talking with a friend yesterday and she told me what she does with her green tomatoes, because I did not have a clue,
is she will cut them in half, remove the seeds and dividing fibrous tissues, and freeze them."

Another option to ripening green tomatoes
Take 5-8 tomatoes and place in a paper grocery bag .
Place an apple in the bag , and wait 3-5 days for tomatoes to ripen with a red blush .
The ripe apple will give of small amounts of ethylene gas, which is used commercially by packing companies to ripen green tomatoes .
The longer the tomatoes remain in the paper bag, the more red blush will be added to the tomatoes. The reason for the paper bag is that the fruit/ veggies need to breathe; a plastic bag will retain moisture and cause rot .

Thank you for this information. We've got a few green maters on deck! We've also egged them, breaded them and fried them (1/2 inch slices) in coconut oil. Very tasty!
