Can anyone help please!?We have grown Tomatorillos and they seem to be ready.The pods are big and starting to fall off.
But as its our first growing our own year we havent a clue what they are and what to do with them!
I looked in my preserving book to see if its the Chutney root but nothing.
Not quit sure how we got growing them,i think i thought they were the round cucumbers at the time.

they are quite tasty as a fruit just on their own so i would imagine a little imagination will create a nice chutney or jam. :lol:

Assuming you mean 'Tomatillos'? We've grown these for the first time this year and apparently you pick them when the cases go 'papery'. However, we've been picking ours when the case has split open and not yet papery and not had a fruit that we thought wasn't ready. Ours are a variety that turn purplish but we've also eaten them still green and somewhere in between! We've used them in the same ways as tomatoes. They're very nice roasted in olive oil with garlic, peppers, onions and then whizzed very quick with a blender so still chunky and used as a sauce. I'm sure you could use a tomato chutney recipe and substitute.
