GREEN TOMATO PIE 
6 c. sliced green tomatoes
2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. flour
3 tbsp. cornstarch
1/3 c. lemon juice
Cinnamon
5 tbsp. butter
Pastry for 10" pie

Combine sugar, salt, flour and cornstarch. Dust some of the mixture over bottom of pastry lined pan. Arrange sliced tomatoes in pan and cover with remaining mixture. Sprinkle lemon juice and cinnamon and dot with butter. Adjust top crust or pastry strips. Bake pie at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake 50 minutes longer. (I cover the outer edge of the pie crust with a strip of foil while baking and remove for about the last 15 minutes, to keep it from becoming over browned.) It tastes very similar to apple pie!
