Finishing the Garden
Nov. 6th, 2007 05:06 pmFrost has been here, so no more tomatoes. I got home in time to pick the last green ones, though. So that means I can make green tomato pie. Now, green tomato pie isn't overwhelming, it rather tastes like apple pie. But I love the idea of using the tomatoes that would otherwise go to waste. Here's the recipe I found on the web, altered into a crumble. I don't have time to bake tonight (sewing night), but I will bake this tomorrow.
big bowl of green tomatoes (20 or so small ones)
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoon butter
Wash the green tomatoes well; peel and slice. In a saucepan, combine tomatoes with lemon juice, peel, salt, and cinnamon. Cook tomato mixture over low heat, stirring frequently. Combine sugar and cornstarch; stir into tomato mixture. Cook mixture until clear, stirring constantly. Add butter, remove from heat, and let stand until slightly cooled.
3/4 c flour
3/4 c oats
3/4 c brown sugar
1/3 c nuts
3 tblsp butter
2 tblsp oil
Mix these together until crumbly. Sprinkle over fruit. Bake for approx 30 min at 375 until top is golden.
