my tomatoes won't ripen- they stay green and then rot

Question

I have a lot of tomatoes on the vines- but they won't ripen. They get big and then split, but never turn red.

Answer 1

Quit watering them for about a week.  They'll think they are dying and then hurry up and finish their growing season.  Seriously.

Answer 2

You could make green fried tomatoes.....................wash & dry them slice them thick or thin............flour with salt & pepper and whatever spice you like........do them dry......make an egg/milk bath.......then into corn meal........let them set up in the refrigeration......................heat the oil..............fry to golden brown or darker.....turn carefully and use paper towels to drain......blotting the top to get the excess oil off........
