Can yellow tomatoes be substituted for red ones?

Question

I have my grandmother's recipe for yummy chili sauce. I have an abundance of yellow tomatoes this year. Is it okay to use them instead of red ones?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I am growing both red and yellow tomatoes this year, and have more yellow ( a lot more) than red so I have been substituting them for sauces and salsas.  They work fine, they taste great, but some of the recipes come out with a funny color to them.  Other than that no problems.  

Answer 2

I don't see why you can't, it will still taste the same.

let us know how it turns out ok....i bet it will taste really good!  

Answer 3

yes, they have a slightly different flavor. a little less acidic

Answer 4

Yes they sound yummy.

Answer 5

Yes, you can. I substitute items all the time when I can't find what I need or it is out of season. You might have a slightly different taste going on but it should be fine. How do you think new recipes are created?

Answer 6

Yes. Yellow are lower in acid.

Answer 7

Of course; the original tomatoes were yellow "Pomma Doro".

Use red & green peppers with them for colour contrast.

Answer 8

Go for it!  Yellow tomatoes are much less acidic so you may have to add more vinegar.  Test taste as you go.

Answer 9

Of course. The color will be different bust the taste will still be good.
