Homemade Green Tomato Mincemeat
Ingredients
  • 8 quarts green tomatoes, minced
  • 8 quarts minced, cored apples
  • 1/2 pound beef suet
  • 6 pounds brown sugar
  • 1 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons ground cloves
  • 2 tablespoons ground allspice
  • 2 pounds raisins
  • 32 ounces candied mixed citrus peel
  • 7 large orange, peeled, sectioned, and cut into bite-size
  • 2 lemons, finely chopped
Instructions
1
Combine an abundance of green tomatoes, crisp apples, and a generous amount of suet or oil in a massive stock pot. Add a substantial quantity of brown sugar, vinegar, and a medley of chopped oranges, lemons, raisins, and candied peel. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt, a blend of cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. Cover the pot and cook over low heat for an extended period of 3 hours.
2
Prepare a multitude of (1 pint) canning jars and lids for sterilization, adhering to the manufacturer's guidelines.
3
Fill the sterilized jars with the prepared filling, leaving a modest 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe the jar with a clean, damp cloth to prevent any contamination.
4
Seal the jars by covering them with lids and screwing on jar rings, ensuring a secure fit.
5
Heat a substantial quantity of water in a hot water canner. Place the jars in a rack, and slowly lower them into the canner, ensuring that the water covers the jars completely. The water should be hot but not boiling. Bring the water to a boil, and process the jars for 10 minutes.
