Slice 1/8-inch thick into a bowl. Pour on boiling water to cover; let stand for 3 minutes. Drain. Combine the sugar, salt, flour and spices in a small bowl. Combine the lemon juice and rind in another bowl. Fill a pastry-lined pie dish with layers of green tomatoes, sprinkling each layer with the sugar mixture, dots of butter and small amounts of the lemon mixture. When the pan is filled, arrange pastry strips in a lattice pattern over the filling. Moisten the edges to seal and flute or press together with a fork. Bake in a 450F oven for 8 to 10 minutes then reduce the heat to 375F and bake until the tomatoes are tender, about 40 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Author's note. This pie is often compared to rhubarb or tart green apple pie. Actually, it has a taste all its own. I like to serve it slightly warmed, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Use your favorite pastry recipe. A flaky, tender pie crust is best with any fruit pie. Hallie's comment. I will use Splenda instead of sugar and probably omit the ground cloves since they are not Buddy's favorite spice. From All About Tomatoes by Ortho Books. MC format by Hallie. Untried (yet). Notes: Well, the frost warnings are out and I'm sick of covering the plants so the tomatoes have been picked which means I have, from my 5 plants, soooooooo many tomatoes ranging from really really green to just ripening. From experience the really really green ones won't taste all that great if they do ripen so I am planning to do a little baking with them and found this recipe in an old book that I have had for years. I have used some of the recipes in this book back in the days when I used to make various preserves and pickles and they turned out very well so I assume this one probably will too although it is one of the ones I have never tried. Anyway, if any of you have tried and true green tomato pie, cake or bread recipes to share bring them on (I'm saying tried and true because I have tasted the odd green tomato concoction and the less said the better about some of them although maybe it was just my taste buds <G> ). In the meantime I am going to share this one and plan on making it this weekend if all goes according to plan (when did that ever happen?). H.
