Try making pickled green tomatoes for a novel side dish http://www.bigoven.com/104372_Kosher-Garlic-Dill-Pickles-or-Pickled-Tomatoes_recipe.html
has a recipe for ones that keep in the fridge. You could instead follow a recipe for putting them in canning jars and keep them on a pantry shelf all winter.

yes they should just watch them the sun might be to strong and you can fry green ones drip into flower and meal pretty good too
yes they will ripen.
you can make mincemeat with green tomotoes.
yes they will ripen , but you must be patient if you bring the green ones indoor you can wrap them in news paper and they will ripen as well, otherwise you can slice them and preserve in oil.
I am answering the question before I look at other answers..
My mom always takes green tomatoes she picks at frost time and puts them in brown paper bags. They ripen beautifully. I put them in the house on a window sill so they would get sun, but……hmn….plants like to propogate…have the next generation survive if they don’t make it….I think the brown paper bag technique just scares them! Hope that helps! Good luck with your green tomatoes. And now I will go look at other answers!
the best way to ripen green tomatoes is to put them in a paper bag with a banana skin and keep them indoors. The sun will burn the skin of the tomatoes. The ethylene released from the banana will ripen the tomatoes. that’s how i ripen my autumn tomatoes.
it will take anywhere from two weeks to a two months depending upon how warm the weather is. just keep checking and whichever ripens, just take it out. they won’t all ripen all together. also keep an eye on any that has started to rot.
I pretty much do what Sugar does.
Put them in a paper sack and close it. The chemicals in the tomatoes will ripen the fruit. If you don’t have a paper sack, use a glass bowl or pan. Be sure to put a lid on top of the contain.
You can do this with avocado too.
here is the same answer I gave someone else with the same question….
place stem side down on the window sill….it will ripen
You can also take completely green tomatoes(not a trace of red on them) and slice thin and dredge in flour, egg, and Italian breadcrumbs(in that order)… then fry in a cast iron pan till golden… place on paper towels to blot them off and sprinkle with salt…. Delicious! …You can Freeze these in zip-loc bags for eating in the winter. (Reheat in a single layer in the oven on cookie sheet)…. Nothing better than Fried green tomatoes to remember your garden in the dead of January and February!… I have a LOT of people hooked on these!Hope you try this, it’s worth it!
Good Luck and enjoy…
