MuddyBoots   10 #25 Posted October 5, 2018 Do green tomatoes ripen better in the dark Ian? I just presumed a sunny windowsill is best but maybe your method is better. Or does it depend whether you want quick ripening, or slow to store them for longer.  Nick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
barry-333 Â Â 10 #26 Posted October 5, 2018 Over the years I have found that putting them in a box/tray lined with several sheets of newspaper and plenty of newspaper on top in a cool room they ripen slowly but have a great flavour they MUST be inspected every week I have had my own tomatoes into the new year with this method Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I cook the ones I ripen in a box/drawer, cut them in half and put them in the microwave then remove the skins and bag them into portions and freeze. I have 3 lots ripening now, I expect them to be ready in a couple of weeks. Edited October 6, 2018 by iansheff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
