Green Tomato — Raisin Pie

This recipe is a good way to use up end-of-the-season tomatoes that haven't ripened. It's really a delicious way to get lots of fiber from the tomatoes and raisins, and the whole-wheat crust will give you another good reason to eat healthful food.

2 rolled-out circles of Whole-Wheat Pie Dough (page 282)

2 tablespoons cornstarch

¾ cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

4 cups large green tomatoes, chopped

½ cup golden raisins

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1 tablespoon cold salted butter

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.

  • Line pie pan with one of the pie-dough circles. Cut slits in the other pie-dough circle and set both aside in the refrigerator.

  • Mix cornstarch, sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl.

  • Toss the chopped tomatoes, golden raisins, lemon juice, and lemon zest with the sugar mixture.

  • Put the tomato filling into the dough-lined pie pan and put the butter on top of it. Cover the filling with the pie-dough circle with slits to form the top crust. Crimp the edges together to seal the crust.

  • Bake for 20 minutes, reduce the temperature to 325°F, and bake 40 minutes longer. Cool completely and serve at room temperature or warmed.
