pam, go to the nursery early in the season and buy a couple of small tomato plants, put them in “patio pots” so they have enough space to grow, and you will have your own, and then, later the ripe ones. Tomatoes grow well on porches and patios.

My mother used to do these in the ole iron skillet. Just dipped in mild then dog egged in flour. Sometimes the crusting fell off but who cares? They were great! Nothing fancy and definitely no sugar and no seasoning except for salt. Also she did the same with green peppers. Ever had a fried green pepper sandwich?

The idea of putting any sugar at all into fried green tomatoes gives me the willies. Too much sweetness, and therefore not enough tartness, is what is wrong with ALL the restaurant versions of this beloved Southern dish that I have tried. I’ve even wondered whether the sourness we used to expect in a green tomato has been bred out to favor popular taste. It appears that I’m going to have to find an heirloom grower and make them myself to get close to what grandma used to make.

@Moriah, would it be too forward of a southern gentleman to ask where I might bump into a recipe for the zucchini relish ma’am? It sounds like something I’d live to try, with all my leftover peppers and zucchini. And you are exactly right, heirloom varieties of tomato are the most flavorful, that’s all we plant nowadays.

@Christy, thanks for the wonderful recipies (and stories). Would love to hear the story about “Christymas” and the Rada ‘mater knife.

My husband and I can our own 10 pepper, spicy zucchini relish every year and that’s what we put on top of our fried green tomatoes fresh out of the garden. The heirloom varieties always taste best. In particular, Aunt Ruby’s German Green tomatoes. Great tutorial!!
