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.

Ingredients

  • quarts green tomatoes: 8 piece (minced)
  • quarts minced, cored apples: 8 piece
  • beef suet: 0.5 pound
  • brown sugar: 6 pound
  • distilled white vinegar: 1 cup
  • salt: 2 Tbsp
  • ground cinnamon: 2 Tbsp
  • ground cloves: 2 Tbsp
  • ground allspice: 2 Tbsp
  • raisins: 2 pound
  • ounces candied mixed citrus peel: 32 piece (optional)
  • orange, peeled, sectioned, and: 7 piece (cut into bite-size pieces)
  • lemons: 2 piece (chopped)

  4. Heat water in a hot water canner. Place jars in rack, and slowly lower jars into canner. The water should cover the jars completely, and should be hot but not boiling. Bring water to a boil, and process for 10 minutes.
