GREEN TOMATO MINCEMEAT

 This is an old Amish recipe that uses up the green tomatoes in canning.

1-peck green tomatoes

2 boxes raisins 

5 lbs brown sugar

2 tbsp cloves

2 tbsp cinnamon

2 tbsp allspice

1 cup vinegar

6 large tart apples, peeled and chopped

Grind tomatoes and drain the juice measuring to see how much there was. Add as much water to the tomatoes as there was discarded juice. Add the raisins, spices, and vinegar. Cook the mixture 45 minutes then add the apples. When the apples are tender, pack the mincemeat into clear canning jars. Seal jars by cooking in a hot water bath.
