Green Tomato Pie
2 C. Green Tomatoes, chopped ( I put mine through a meat grinder with a coarse blade)
¼ tsp Salt
Put in a bowl, stir and let stand for 15-20 minutes.
Make a two-crust pie crust. Put bottom crust in pie plate.
Drain off liquid from green tomatoes. Add...
1½ C Sugar
2 Tbsp. Flour
¼ tsp Allspice
¼ tsp Clove
½ tsp Cinnamon
½ tsp. Nutmeg
1 Tbsp Real Lemon Juice or Vinegar
Mix well. Pour in bottom crust and dot with margarine. Put on top crust.
Bake at 425° F for 15 minutes. The lower heat to 400°F for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
This was a recipe from my Grandmother Everitt. She passed away in 1977 at the age of 101. This is a favorite of her kids, grandkids, great-grandkids and great-great-grandkids. You are not an Everitt unless you like Green Tomato Pie.
My mother would make 6 pies at a time...that's what fit in the oven...and would freeze them. Then put them back in the oven at 350°F for 30 minutes for a wonderful, warm pie.
Sounds good Etta Sue, Imay just have to try this sometime.
