Green Tomatoes

[BeccaOH]

Here's a great way to use up green tomatoes at the end of the growing season.

Green Tomato Bars
4 cups green tomato, finely chopped
2 cups brown sugar, divided
cup butter, softened
1 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups oatmeal
cup nuts, chopped
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen), optional

In a saucepan, cook tomatoes and 1 cup brown sugar over low heat until tomatoes are softened and juicy. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and remaining sugar; add flour, baking soda, salt, oatmeal, and nuts. Grease a 9x13 pan. Measure out 2 cps dough and press into bottom of pan. Spread tomato mixture, including juice, on top. Sprinkle optional berries over tomatoes. Crumble the remaining dough and sprinkle over all. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.
Yield: 16 servings.

The blueberries help to hide the green from the kids and make the bars more eye appealing. Still just as yummy without the berries, though.

Yep. It was in an old church cookbook. I was afraid to try it, but was glad when I did.
