just cleared the greenhouse and have been left with a number of green
tomatoes how can I get them to ripen?

or what else can I do with them?

My mother used to wrap them in newspaper and put them in a drawer. Ripe by
Christmas. Otherwise it's chutney.

Put them in a paper bag with an apple and pop the bag into a drawer. They
will ripen within 3 weeks at room temperature. The ethylene gas emitted by
the apple does the ripening job.
