Deep Dish Plum Pie

12-14 halved and pitted blue plums
1/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
Pastry for one crust pie

Fill a 9-inch square baking dish about with the plums, cut side down. Combine the sugar, cloves, cinnamon, salt and tapioca and sprinkle over the fruit. Shake the dish slightly so that the sugar will sift down through the fruit. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and dot with the butter. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes.

Roll the pastry and cut nine 3" circles from it. Remove the pie from the oven and place the circles of pastry over the fruit in a slightly overlapping design. Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the fruit is tender and the pastry brown.
