Fried canned green tomatoes

[truckinbutch]

Hooray ! Gardening season is here again
Can't wait to start harvesting and eating fresh veggies . Already getting green onions
Canning time is just around the corner ; which brings me to my point .
Fried green tomatoes aren't just a seasonal thing . Can them at end of ripe harvest and enjoy them yearround .
Cool days in fall when they stop ripening , or after first frost , pick the green ones . Wash , cap ,
slice thick (1/4 to 1/2"), and pack in quart canning jars . Add 1/2 tsp salt and water to shoulder of each jar . Waterbath or pressure can for recommended time .
To prepare:
Carefully drain in collander and gently coat both sides with flour seasoned to taste .
Fry to golden brown on both sides at medium heat in bacon grease .
Hint :
Serving size will depend on how well you like them the first time . 2 quarts is enough for me and
we fix more according to how many will be dining that day .
Hint :
If you are close a commercial grower . Many will let you glean their fields at end of harvest for next to nothing to get a larger supply of green tomatoes .

Great idea, never thought of canning green tomato slices.

Wintertime lifesaver as well as preventing waste of garden produce . To my palate they are
better tasting than fresh fried . The taste is less bitter after canning .

Thanks truckinbutch, my family has been eating fried green 'maters long before I got here, but have
never seen 'canned' green tomatoes. My Mom used to can everything from pears , jellies to chow-chow
& a delicious sweet zucchini relish, but I never saw these. We love fried green tomatoes & the wife is
getting into the canning mode now. I got a bushel of Hot Hungarian peppers ready for canning now.
A few bushels of tomatoes are next. She makes a pretty good canned 'Swiss Steak' sauce .
