Green Tomato Mincemeat

 

3 quarts chopped green tomatoes

1 1/2 quarts peeled, chopped tart apples

2 cups raisins

1/2 cup lemon or orange peel - grated

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons salt

3 cups brown sugar, firmly packed

3/4 cup vinegar

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/4cup brandy -- optional

 

Combine all ingredients in a large heavy pan. (Omit cloves if you plan

to freeze mincemeat.) Cook mixture slowly until it is tender and

thick, about 1 hour or more. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.

Yield 5 to 6 quarts

 

Can be canned or frozen, but if you freeze it omit the cloves until you

are ready to use it.
