This recipe is 'The Holidays' for me. I remember the smell filling the house 60 years ago when my mom was cooking it. At the end of the tomato season, when the remaining tomatoes in the garden will not ripen, this is a great use for them. A note from my mother: I put a heaping teaspoon of tapioca on the bottom crust before I fill it. It will absorb some of the liquid.

Ingredients

  • green tomato: 2 cups (chopped)
  • tart green apples: 2 cups (peeled and chopped)
  • firmly packed brown sugar: 1 cup
  • raisins: 0.5 cup (chopped)
  • cider vinegar: 3 Tbsp
  • butter: 1 Tbsp
  • ground cinnamon: 1 tsp
  • salt: 0.5 tsp
  • ground nutmeg: 0.25 tsp
  • ground cloves: 0.25 tsp
  • pastry for a 9-inch double-crust pie: 1 piece

  1. Combine tomatoes, apples, brown sugar, raisins, vinegar, butter, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and cloves together in a large saucepan; cook and stir over medium-low heat until bubbling and slightly reduced in volume, about 25 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
