Last year my tomatoes did really well, and were STILL doing really well when the frosts came along. The ones that were starting to pink up I stored in paper bag (when they do ripen, eat 'em quick, as they go bad quickly once ripe). But the ones that were totally green I made into pickle relish (really good) and several quarts of green tomato mincemeat that was just fabulous. I used the last jar of last year's mincemeat a few weeks ago, and now I'm just waiting it out for the next batch!
Myscha, the taste of green tomatoes in baked goods is not just filler, although it's not "tomatoey" either. More like a tart, tangy fruit taste.
