Plum tree disaster - unripe plums suggestions?

Help! We got home from a weekend away to find one branch of the plum tree had peeled off under the weight of fruit and was lying on the grass. There's at least 3 buckets-full of green plums. Following internet & neighbourly wisdom we've spread them out in boxes with a few bananas and left them outside in the hope that some will eventually ripen.
So - any suggestions from the panel for what to do with a large quantity of unripe plums?
TIA

Treat as veg.
Stir fry small quantities along with your usual ingrediants. Don't make them the main ingrediant, though.

ok, thanks - looks like industrial quantities of plum chutney is the best option

Our plum tree ripped itself in half three years ago and then died

Are you planning to prune the tree and thin the crop later this year?
