I put them single-layer in old beer boxes (24-can flats).Cover with a single sheet of newspaper,put them in a cool dry basement.Pick out the damaged ones,they will rot.Check them every two weeks,pick out the ripe,the near ripe,the rotten.Enjoy.

Thanks,bartj13,il'l try that.

I'd have fried green tomatoes....yum, just thinking about it makes my mouth water!!

I have also put green tomatoes on the floor of my pantry in the dark and they rippened real well. I spread newspaper on the floor and placed them so that they didn't touch. We ate ripe tomatoes on into January!!!

Dancey--Have used your method for years--its the one
I learned from my parents. And people it really works--
just make sure you leave a little space between each one
and check them often!
