Have leftover green tomatoes from your summer garden?

Remove leaves and stems. Wash and pat dry.

Store loosely in a brown bag or flat basket covered in a plastic bag.

Add a banana or apple. The ethylene gas from the fruit will speed up ripening.

Check daily. Use tomatoes as they ripen. They'll be a little softer than vine ripening but still more delicious than tomatoes found in grocery stores.
 
And there's nothing quite like getting a little bag of fresh, ripe tomatos when it starts to get cold outside. These make great garden gifts and housewarming gifts!
