 SWEET GREEN TOMATO PIE
 Preheat oven to 400.  On lightly floured board, roll out
pie dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.  Edges
will be ragged,this is okay.  Just leave like this as edges
will get folded in later. Center dough in 9 inch pie plate.
Cover & chill.  Cut tomatoes into thin slices.  Put into
large mixing bowl & add raisins, lemon peel, juice &
vinegar.  Stir & set aside.  Mix together sugar, pecans,
flour, salt, cinnamon, & ginger.  Blend well. Sprinkle 2
tablespoon over chilled pie crust.  Add remaining
sugar-pecan mixture to tomato slices.  Toss to coat well.
Scrape tomato filling into pie crust.  Dot with pieces of
chilled butter.  Fold overhang of pastry into center over
filling.
 Bake 15 minutes. Turn heat down to 325 & bake for 45
minutes or until bubbly & crust is golden brown.  Let pie
cool on wire rack before cutting. Dust top with powdered
sugar for decoration.
