Ingredients

3 lbs green tomatoes, coarsely chopped

1 1/2 lbs tart apples, coarsely chopped, with skin

3 1/3 cups packed light brown sugar

10 oz currants

6 oz dried tart cherries

1 cup cider vinegar

1/2 cup chopped, crystallized ginger

2 oranges, cut into slices, seeded

2 cinnamon sticks

1 tsp ground mace

1 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp ground nutmeg

2 juniper berries, cracked (optional)

Directions

Place the tomatoes in a large stockpot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and blanch for 4 - 5 minutes. Drain.

Add all the remaining ingredients. Mix well and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Let the mincemeat cool. Remove the orange slices and cinnamon sticks and transfer to a covered container. Store in refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for several months.
