Dear Chile-Heads,

Have any of you ever tried to make salsa from green tomatoes? (I'm
referring to unripe tomatoes, not tomatillos.) In anticipation of a frost
tonight, I picked whatever tomatoes were still on the vine, which were
quite plentiful, and quite green.

yes I have made plenty of green tomatoe salsa, when my mom and I make 
salsa every summer we always through in green tomatoes to get a good 
firm texture to the salsa giving it some meat to chew on instead of 
just squish. you will find the flavor is similar but not quite the 
same. and in yours you might try and through in some ripe tomatoes. 
you can also let some of you green tomatoes sit on a window sill and 
ripen if you do, don't take off the stims. 
well I hope that you have the chile gods above smile upon your 
blessed creation. SALSA
regards
