1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup granulated sugar

Wash the green tomatoes well; peel and slice.
In a saucepan, combine tomatoes with lemon juice, peel, salt, and cinnamon.
Cook tomato mixture over low heat, stirring frequently.
Combine sugar and cornstarch; stir into tomato mixture.
Cook mixture until clear, stirring constantly. Add butter, remove from heat, and let stand until slightly cooled.
Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry; pour in tomato mixture.
Cover with top pastry, seal edges, crimp, and cut several small slits in crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake at 435° for 35 to 45 minutes, or until nicely browned.
Serve warm or cooled.
