MOCK MINCEMEAT 8 c. apples 8 c. green tomatoes 1 lb. raisins (4 c.) 2 Tbsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. allspice 1 tsp. cloves 1 tsp. ginger 1/2 c. cider vinegar 1/2 c. orange juice Put tomatoes and peeled apples through a food chopper. Add remaining ingredients and cook until thick. Cook mixture slowly and stir often to prevent sticking. You can add a little brown sugar for taste and orange juice if too thick. This recipe makes about 4 quarts. Fill into sterilized jars and seal while hot. Note: 1 quart will make 2 (9-inch) pies. I canned some in pints for just making 1 pie. You can add the brown sugar at time of making pie if you think the mixture too tart.
