Green Tomato Pie


This is not the best pie in the world, but if you tire of fried green tomatoes and don't want to put up relish it helps use up any extra un-ripened fruit.

4 cups of green tomatoes, sliced thin (leave the parings on the fruit)
1 cup of granulated white sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar
3 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves
1btablespoon of butter
2 tablespoons of flour
1 9-inch pie shell on the top crust

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Put the pie shell into a pie dish.

Sprinkle the flour over the bottom of the pie shell. Layer the slices of tomato into the shell.

Mix the sugars, the lemon juice, and the spices. Pour this mixture over the tomatoes.

Dot everything with butter.

Cover with the top crust. Crimp the edges together. Make a small slit in the top crust for the passage of steam.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
