What a great recipe! Can't wait to cook it. Some of our tomatoes are showing signs of betritus can i just cut the bad parts out and still use them or is fungal disease a big no no?
I love your beautiful, live gestures! Thanks for your fine cookery lesson. Green tomatoes are a bit poisonous and lack nutrition, like all unripe fruits. Aluminium is also very poisonous, esp with acid ingredients like tomatoes and vinegar. Maybe throw it out and get yourself a stainless steel one. How come you leave head space in the jars, if the air space is where it spoils if it does? I always fill up completely,and it makes a nice vacuum as it cools down, which preserves jam/juice (?) without any sugar. I'll make it for the first time, experimenting with what I have: squash, onions, maybe garlic, apple, bananas,a little aubergine, a little red tomatoes, apart from a little apple vinegar, raisins, sea salt, Ceylon cinnamon and organic cardamom. I hope it keeps preserved without sugar. Wish me luck please!
Green tomatoes can have trace amounts of solanine which is toxic however, it's extremely unlikely that the amounts in tomatoes would cause any ill effects (you're more likely to become unwell from a green patch on a potato) And while aluminium can react with acids and taint food, this usually comes from breaking the oxide layer that forms by using metal spoons etc to stir. If it were "very poisonous" it would have been banned for use in the culinary industry and this is not the case.
Well, I have been making chutney with green tomatoes for many years and am here to tell the tale. And wonder if Americans know their green tomatoes are poisonous.
Oh, and my preserving pan, like most sold in New Zealand is aluminum. I don't know of anyone who has died from using one. The rubbish some people write.
@@glenith50 I wonder why 'I didn't get your reply shown till now? You think only good things (I won't say foods) are allowed. I read a sugar professor write that, if white sugar was invented today, it would be forbidden as a poison, having no nutrition and extremely high -was it atomic? number,97-98, Idk anymore, it was 25 years ago and I am sick with Aluminium and burn-out. How one is affected is a Q of health and body functions. if your detoxifying and eliminatory organs can do their work well, good f you. So is the green on a potatoe worse than green tomatoes? -Good day.
@@maxineb9598 I didn't say you'd die from it or that poisonous stuffs are deadly in any amount and in well-functioning detox organs. There are other effects, and your ungrateful rudeness has me think l I'll stop wasting my little time and energy in Aluminium poisoning on helping + warning other ppl. Be well.
