Green Tomato Mincemeat
There are lots of green tomatoes in the garden
right now and I like to make mincemeat out of them for pies at
Christmas. Here are the ingredients:
12 cups green tomatoes chopped
16 cups apples unpeeled, cored
4 cups golden raisins
chopped, sultanas
2 cups currants
1 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons orange zest
6 cups sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons nutmeg
3 teaspoons salt
2 pinch cloves
8 tablespoons margarine
Directions
1.
Chop in processor apples and tomatoes.
2.
Add remaining fruit and process.
3.
Blend everything in a large pot.
4.
Cook slowly for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Put
mincemeat into zip lock freezer bags and zip shut. There is no need
to bottle it and you can have the mincemeat ready for a pie anytime.
