But what I've always done? Bring in all the green tomatoes before the freeze, place them in brown paper bags, then let them ripen in a dark cupboard. They always turn red beautifully. Every year.<br /><br />Enjoyed your post!

Your earlier suggestion is just genius. The house smells less like bacon after cooking and it turns out browned, crisp, and delicious. Thank you, Donna! <br /><br />Debbie Z.
