Steps:

• Place into dutch oven. Add remaining ingredients, bring to boil. Reduce heat and cook until thickened. .
• If you are not using right away, you can can it: Fill sterilized jars with 1/2" headspace and process in hot water bath 20 minutes.
• PS The original recipe calls for candied citron, but the ingredient list did not recognize the ingredient "citron" so I wrote orange peel. Your choice!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Add tomatoes and vinegar; toss to coat. On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate. Add filling; dot with butter., Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; cut into 1-in.-wide strips. Arrange over filling in a lattice pattern. Trim and seal strips to edge of bottom crust; flute edge., Bake until tomatoes are tender, about 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature. Store in the refrigerator.
