Having picked all the remaining green tomatoes last week, I tried a wonderful bread recipe posted by Pat Duran (http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/vegetable/kitchen-chatter-green-tomato-bread.html?p=22). Since that was so good and since I still had many tomatoes, I modified my favorite zucchini bread recipe for use with tomatoes. Capturing the recipe here so I remember what I did!
