Green Tomato Bread

“I didn’t like this recipe, I LOVED LOVED LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The day, the minute I saw this, I knew this would be great, A very nice bread, and what a huge loaf I have right here, the aroma has filled my whole house from one end to the other. THANK YOU so much for sharing this recipe. I love it as much as I love your carrot cookies. Just a few things in this recipe – I dont get nutmeg easily here, so, I omitted that and also omitted molasses. I used 4 tsps. of cinnamon instead of 3 and 1/2 cup margarine instead of oil.Also, I used 1 tsp. ginger instead of 1/4 tsp.It took 70 minutes for this bread to be baked in my oven. But, I strongly feel, it was well worth the wait:) I would recommend this recipe to everyone. Thank you, once again and keep ’em coming:)”

“This was excellent!I have never eaten such a delicious spice cake!It was very moist and the spice flavor blend was just heavenly.I had a hard time finding a true green tomato in January, so I used the firmest and most under-ripe looking grocery store tomato I could find and it worked out perfectly.One tomato made more than enough puree.I halved the recipe and it worked out just fine.I also omitted nuts and used currants instead of raisins, as that what what I had on hand.”

“Due to the blight that swept the Northeast this year, I have hundreds of green tomatoes that I was able to salvage.I pureed half of them and froze in one cup portions for this recipe.This bread is wonderful: moist, dark, and hearty!Perfect for the fall and winter months.I baked them in individual sized pans for 35 minutes.”

“So tired of fried green tomatoes, I made this bread with what I had on hand – 1 cup pecan halves instead of chopped walnuts, omitted the raisins, replaced molasses with brown turbinado sugar. I added an extra 1/4 teaspoon ginger. I just couldn’t help myself! Sprinkled more turbinado sugar on top of the loaf half way through baking. The House smelled heavenly. Tastes wonderfully sweet and spicy.Will use the REST of my green tomatoes to make more.”

“A lovely way to use up green tomatoes, and a change from chutney! Thanks for a great and easy-to-follow recipe!”

“Very good!I followed the recipe exactly.My husband really liked it and requestedthat it be made into cookies. So need to figure out how to do that.thanks for a keeper.”

“Thank you Mizz Nezz! It was the first sweet bread I ever baked. My husband likes the bread very much. I had made totally 5 loaves in late autumn and finished all the green tomatoes. I gave one to my mother-in-law and another to her cousin; both of them are good at cooking. They appreciated the bread too. However, since my husband likes spicy food, I had doubled the amount of ground ginger for us. Still came out very nice. Thank you for your sharing again.Since my husband enjoys home-made bread now, we got a simpe bread maker in last November. Still practising! “

“This bread was pretty tasty for being made with green tomatoes! I didn’t know what to expect, but I was very pleased with the results. One thing I did different was that I soaked the raisins in water for five minutes before adding them to the batter. I’ve found that soaking makes them more plump & juicy in the end result. I also omitted the nuts since I did not have them on hand. Great recipe!”
