Green Tomato Pie

I love finding uses for green tomatoes because it always seemed like such a waste to be waiting for tomatoes to ripen in the summer. Of course at the end of the season, it seems as if you only get green tomatoes. This recipe for green tomato pie provides you with another option. It makes sense really. I mean, they say tomatoes are really a fruit after all.
