DEEP DISH PLUM PIE 
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Grated rind of 1 orange
8 c. sliced, pitted fresh plums
3 tbsp. butter
1 pkg. pie crust mix

Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange rind and plums. Toss to coat plum slices. Pour mixture into a well greased 2 quart casserole. Dot top with butter. Prepare pie crust mix according to package directions. Roll out pie crust on a floured board large enough to cover the top of the casserole and allow 1" overhang. Slash top.

Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 1 hour. Place casserole on a cookie sheet to catch any over flow of juice. Serve warm or cold, spooned into bowls topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
