Directions
- When the frost beats the ripening of some of your tomatoes, turn them into this terrific mincemeat. A jar or possibly 2 makes a fine gift. Because of low acid ingredients, this recipe must be processed in a pressure canner. The yield is about 10 pints. You'll need all the basic equipment for steam pressure canning, plus a grater and a large bowl.
- 1. Organize and prepare ingredients, equipment, and work area.
- 2. Sprinkle salt over tomatoes in a large bowl or possibly container, and then let stand 1 hour. Drain.
- 3. Meanwhile heat water in large kettle to boiling. Add in tomatoes and let stand 5 min. Drain well.
- 4. Combine all ingredients in large kettle and heat to boiling.
- 5. Pour or possibly ladle warm mincemeat into warm jars to within 1 inch of tops of jars. Run a slim, non metal tool down along the inside of each jar to release air bubbles. Add in more warm liquid to within 1 inch of tops, in necessary.
- 6. Wipe tops and threads of jars with a clean damp cloth.
- 7. Put on lids and screw bands as manufacturer directs.
- 8. Process at 10 lb. pressure for 25 min. Follow manufacturer's directions for your canner.
- 9. Follow basic steps for steam pressure canning, 10 through 24.
