Green Tomato Mince Pie Recipe

One peck of green tomatoes, put through a food chopper. Boil, drain and

add as much water as juice drained out. Scald and drain again. Add water

as before, scald and redrain. This time add half as much water, then the

following:--



3 pounds brown sugar

2 pounds raisins

2 tablespoonfuls nutmeg

2 tablespoonfuls cinnamon

2 tablespoonfuls cloves

2 tablespoonfuls allspice

2 tablespoonfuls salt



Boil all together, and add one cup of vinegar. Cook till thick as

desired. Put in jars and seal.



To one pint of this mixture add one cup of chopped apple and the juice

and rind, grated or ground. Sweeten to taste, fill crust and bake as the

usual mince pie.



Evaporated apples may be used, but grind before soaking and do not cook.



These pies will not harm children, and are very inexpensive, as compared

to those made of mincemeat.
