1944 Green Tomato Pie

pastry for a double-crust
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp flour
1 lemon, grated rind only
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp salt
4 cups peeled and sliced green tomato
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 tsp butter

Line a pie pan with pie dough.

Mix the sugar, flour, lemon rind, allspice, and salt together. Sprinkle just a little of this at the bottom of the pie shell.

Arrange the tomato slices, a layer at a time, as you cover each layer with the sugar mixture, lemon juice, and a dot of butter on each slice. Keep layering until you reach the top of the pie tin.

Cover with a latticed top and bake at 350F for 45 minutes.
