A Recipe Idea for Your Green Tomatoes

By Katina Provencal

Do you have lots of green tomatoes left over in your garden like I do? Here is a yummy way to use them up.

Green Tomato Quick Bread

Ingredients:

● 2 cups sugar

● 1 cup vegetable oil

● 2 eggs

● 1 tbsp vanilla extract

● 1 tsp salt

● 1 tbsp cinnamon

● 1 tsp baking soda

● ¼ tsp baking powder

● 3 cups flour

● 2 cups green tomatoes (diced)

Instructions:

● Preheat oven to 350 degrees

● Grease the bottom of two loaf pans

● In a bowl, combine sugar and oil - mix well

● Add eggs, vanilla and salt - mix well

● Add cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder - mix well

● Slowly add flour until completely combined - mixture will be thick

● Add diced tomatoes and stir well - mixture will thin out from the moisture of the tomatoes

● Pour ½ of the batter into each loaf pan

● Bake 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean

● Cool for 5 minutes, remove from pans and cool on a rack

Extra loaves can be frozen for a later date. Enjoy!
