Found a very unique and fascinating cookbook with interesting household tips for anyone interested in ACW period cooking. This edition is from 1869, but the first printing was in 1863, click here to enjoy the recipes and helpful household management tips of Anne Howe. I enjoyed the art of carving section as I'm terrible at cutting meat.
One of the more odd recipes that caught my eye was for tomato pie of all things. Never heard of it but it does sound interesting. Has anyone heard of it or something similar?
Tomato Pie
Take green tomatoes, turn boiling water on them, and then let them remain in it a few minutes - then string off the skin, cut the tomatoes in slices and put them in deep pie plates. Sprinkle sugar over each layer, and a little ginger. Grated lemon peel, and the juice of a lemon, improve the pie. Cover the pies with a thick crust, and bake slowly for about an hour.
