I tried this once and it did work. If you have a lot of green tomatoes when the weather turns cold. Pick them and wrap them individually in newspaper. Lay them in a single layer in a box and put them in a dark place (I kept mine under my bed.) They will slowly turn red. Make sure that you check them often because you'll have some that will spoil. I had fresh tomatoes until Thanksgiving the time that I tried it.
