Green Tomato Mince

Chop fine, drain off the juice, and then measure 6 cups green tomatoes, add 6 cups sour chopped apples, 4 cups brown sugar, 2 cups molasses, 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup vinegar, and 1 tablesp salt. Cook about 3 hours, and when nearly done add 1/2 grated nutmeg, 1 scant teasp cloves and 1 teasp each allspice and cinnamon. If liked add raisins when making these pies. Every one enjoys our "mince" pies, and will hardly believe it when I tell them it is only tomato pie. We put up a large quantity of this mince every fall.- [Miss M. E. B., Mich.
