Elizabeth's Notes:

My grandmother makes this pie every year from her garden fresh green tomatoes. Each year before it freeze's. she goes out and picks all the green tomatoes left on the vines, and slices them up and makes several green tomato pies, and freezes them,she all year long she can enjoy green tomato pie with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream.
This pie is my late fathers and my favorite pie in the whole world.

Directions

pre-heat oven to 425*

make crust for a 9" pie. (makes two pie crusts, one for the top and bottom layer )

Place one pie crust into bottom of a 9" pan,
bake in oven for 15 min.

Reduce oven to *350

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowel then pour into the 9" pie pan,(already baked for 15 min at 425*) place the last pie crust (uncooked) on top of the pie filling, place in oven for 45 mins. at 350*

let cool and serve warm with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

OK Gaynel and Elizabeth, all I've ever heard of were 'Fried Green Tomatoes'. I'm saving the Green Tomato Pie recipe for later this Summer when I can harvest them from my garden. But, 'Green Tomato Relish' is new to me. May I have that recipe too? I've already been planning my garden for this Summer - now I see that I must add at least 1 to 2 more rows of Tomato Plants. It all sounds so delicious! LOL :-)

I will have to look up the green tomato relish recipe. I have my grandmothers recipe and it is called "chow Chow" I think...on my agenda for tomorrow...
