Aw come on Jean why yet another new post on the same subject when it is just a continuation of the previous post? Please don't do that. Just post your new question on the already existing thread and it gets bumped back up to the top.

Yall mean if they are LIGHT green and not dark green? Now I only have CHERRY tomatoes.....
I can not use them for relish , chow chow etc????

No one said that. In fact if I go look up the previous discussion, which reads almost word for word as this post does, I specifically said that the size of the fruit makes no difference whatsoever. Cherry tomatoes can be used just like any other tomatoes.

I also said something like if you use an approved recipe that has sufficient vinegar or other acid in it you can use any color tomatoes you want and that you can even mix the colors - red, pink, orange, yellow, light green, dark green, purple or black.

On the other hand if you use some made-up or unapproved recipe where the acid level is unknown then you'd best stick with green ones only.

I also discussed color break in green tomatoes and what that means and how to tell if a tomato has started to ripen.
