AWARD WINNING GREEN TOMATO MINCEMEAT



Award Winning Green Tomato Mincemeat image

This favourite of my dad's won me an award from the Ontario Greenbelt Fresh Association, and for good reason! Apples, pears, carrots and raisins team up with the unlikely candidate of green tomatoes for a deliciously tangy-sweet mincemeat. This is a vegan recipe, perfect for pie or tart fillings at Christmas and it freezes well, too!

MOCK MINCEMEAT PIE



Mock Mincemeat Pie image

My mother made this pie at Thanksgiving, and it's a great variation on apples and raisins with a hint of orange and cinnamon and cloves. She called it 'mock' because there is no meat involved. The filling mixture will keep for several days. Before using the filling, it's optional to stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of brandy.

GREEN TOMATO MINCEMEAT

This makes about 30 pints of mincemeat. Have on hand 30 pint canning jars with brand-new rings and lids. Reusing old lids is not recommended. A delicious way to use green tomatoes. The recipe came from my grandfather, and our family has been making it forever! Use straight from the jar for pies, cookies, muffins, or cake.
