Among the recipes I considered putting into my novel, Delicious!, this was one of my favorites. After Lulu harvested the last ripe Climbing Trip-L-Crop Tomatoes there were a lot of green ones left sitting on the vine. In the cool of the Ohio Autumn, some simply never ripened. But the war was on, everyone was using every edible bit, and Lulu didn't want to waste them. She went to her Department of Agriculture pamphlets and found they suggested this recipe for green tomatoes left on the vine.
