Yields: 20 cups
Equal amount of tomatoes and apples sliced (about 16 of each)
2 lbs of Sultana raisins
1 lb of currants
1 cup of mixed peel
3 cups of sugar
4 tsp salt
2/3 cup vinegar
1 Tbsp VE Cinnamon
1/2 tsp VE Cloves
1/2 tsp VE Nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice
1. Use food processor to finely chop up apples and tomatoes (Using a food processor helps to reduce cooking time as the pieces are smaller). If you don't have a food processor just chop apples and tomatoes into small pieces. Put in a very large pot as you chop.
2. Mix everything together in a very large pot and bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for about an hour, stirring occasionally, until right consistency (thick). Remove from heat.
3. When cooled place in freezer bags and seal. Freeze. Defrost to use in a pie, for muffins or in your favorite mincemeat square recipe.
*This doesn't turn brown until it is almost done.
