1. Pickle them. 2. Green tomato pie.
I usually do (1) with them (and collect them from gardening friends at this time of year) but I did (2) once. It basically works like an apple pie and tastes not dissimilar.

Hopefully I'll remember to check my book for the pickle recipe later.

Pie! Do they stay green? That would be sort of beautiful.

They sure do. It is kinda creepy at first.

More or less what mine looked like.

Okay, while I wasn't looking, all my green tomatoes turned red/yellow.

Damn it, I think I've ruined 13 lbs. of green tomatoes and accompanying peppers and onions, sugar, vinegar and spices, by oversalting the chopped stuff and letting it sit all night. I rinsed about half of the veg before starting the cooking process today, but the relish is still almost inedibly salty. I'm cooking two large potatoes in there now to try to leech some of the salt out, but I don't have a lot of hope.

Did the potatoes work?

A little bit -- I put up seven pints and dumped the rest. I'm pretty disgusted at myself for ruining perfectly good FOODZ.

Green tomato pie! I will try this.
The only thing I've done besides fried green tomatoes is...grilled green tomatoes.
