Green Tomato Mincemeat

4 lbs. sugar
2 lbs. raisins
1/2 lb. currents (not necessary)
1/2 lb. salt
2 TBLS salt
2 TBLS cinnamon
1 TBLS nutmeg
1/2 TBLS cloves
1 cup vinegar
1/2 cup molasses
1 or 2 whole oranges
1 whole lemon-put them thru chopper
rind and all, after washing thoroughly.
Add any jellys, jams left over in fridge.

Pour boiling water over tomatoes with 1 tsp. salt. let come to a boil. Drain and pour boiling water over them again., Drain well, and add to all of the above and simmer for 1 hour. Stir often as it burns easily. Place in hot sterilized jars, and seal.

I used 1/2 jar of 10 oz. strawberry jelly
1/2 jar 10 oz. peach preserves
1/4 jar apricot preserved
and it came out terrific. So good! Laurine in nny on the border in the 10/6/08 newsletter.
