Green Tomatoes

This growing season, for the first time, I planted two plants of "Sweet
100" tomatoes. They have amazed me. I have never seen so many fruits
ever on a tomato vine. They have just kept coming and coming. Ilene, my
wife, loves them, eats them out of the bowl in the kitchen just like
sweets. My problem now is that there is absolutely no way that they can
all ripen. We are well into autumn and although there have not been any
frosts yet, I guess they will start all too soon. There is no longer
enough sunshine where they are planted outdoors to ripen. I heard, or
read, somewhere that if you uproot the entire plant and hang it upside
down in a basement or similar place the remaining green fruit will
ripen. Has anyone else heard of this and tried it out. I know that you
can make all sorts of pickles etc. with green tomatoes, but not for me
--- thank you all the same.
TIA
