A delightful twist on traditional mincemeat, this recipe uses green tomatoes and a blend of spices for a unique and flavorful preserve.
Wash the green tomatoes and apples thoroughly.
Ensure the produce is clean to avoid any impurities in the preserve.
Core the apples and chop them along with the tomatoes using a food processor.
Chopping the produce finely ensures an even texture in the preserve.
Combine the chopped produce, sultanas, currants, vinegar, lemon juice, lemon rind, spices, salt, and sugar in a large pot.
Stir the mixture well to ensure the sugar and spices are evenly distributed.
Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 1.5 to 2 hours until thickened.
Keep an eye on the mixture to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Transfer the hot preserve into sterilized jars and seal them.
Fill the jars while the preserve is hot to create a proper seal.
Process the sealed jars in a canning pot with boiling water for 25 minutes.
This step ensures the preserve is shelf-stable for long-term storage.
