What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger

Sweet has a recipe. And that's one hell of a way to introduce a recipe, isn't it.

I am, of course, kidding. But you might wonder...

Here is Sweet with the poop.
I mean info...
Sorry Sweet!


I will be making up a couple of these babies for the office staff on Monday. I'll teach them to to call in sick. I will give them a reason.....

Kidding aside, "Green Tomato Pie" is really good. Plus we have not had Tramp's County Kitchen Corner lately.

Quick Green Tomato Pie Recipe

Yield: 1 - 9 inch Pie

Ingredients:
8 Medium Green Tomatoes, Sliced
1 Apple, thinly sliced
1 Cup Sugar
¾ tsp Cinnamon
¼ tsp Ground Cloves
1 Tbsp Butter
1 tsp Minute Tapioca
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
Pastry for a 2-crust 9 inch pie

Method: Preheat oven to 400 ° F. In a bowl, make a mixture of sugar, tapioca and spices. Arrange ½ of the Tomato and apple slices in the bottom of the unbaked crust. Sprinkle half of the mixture over the layer. Arrange the remaining tomato and apple slices as a top layer. Sprinkle the remaining mixture over this layer. Dot with butter and sprinkle with lemon juice. Place top crust on pie, seal and flute the edges. Dock the top for steam. Bake for 35 minutes or until crust is golden and juices bubble through. (Fruit has finished cooking when juices flow out docking holes. Rack cool for 90 minutes

Serve with ice cream or cheese.

Notes: In this quick recipe, tomatoes are only washed, and sliced: not peeled.
For firmer consistency, increase Tapioca to 1 Tbsp.
Covering the crust with foil for the first 30 minutes of baking can improve the crust color. Increase baking time by 15 minutes.
Egg wash on top crust will create a glossy golden appearance.
