I found a really interesting recipe in the Washington Post food section last week. Tomatoes. Peaches. Plums. A farmer's market bounty. All in a deep dish pie dish. Off we go!

Ingredients:
1 pound (about 3 medium) ripe tomatoes, cored and cut into thin wedges (about 3 cups)
1 1/2 pounds (2 of each) mixed peaches and red plums, peaches peeled and both fruits thinly sliced (about 3 cups
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
7 tablespoons flour
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup pecan halves
5 tablespoons chilled salted butter, cut into half-inch pieces
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Have a deep-dish pie plate at hand.
Combine the tomatoes and stone fruit in a large bowl. Add the sugar and cornstarch; toss to coat evenly. Pour the mixture into the pie plate.
Combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and pecans in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 3 or 4 times, until the nuts are finely chopped. Add the chilled butter, and pulse about 5 times, just until the butter is chopped. (If you start to see clumps, stop. You're headed for cookie dough.)
Spread the topping evenly over the fruit. Transfer the pie plate to a baking sheet wide enough to catch drips.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the topping is lightly browned and the fruit is bubbling.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
