GREEN TOMATO MINCEMEAT

Green Tomato Mincemeat (Vegetarian Mincemeat) Do you have lots of green tomatos in your garden? This doesn't taste anything like green tomatoes that takes on the herbs and fruit taste of a light mincement.
This makes your kitchen smell heavenly. In addition, it is the lightest best mincemeat you have ever tasted. I got the recipe because I grew my own tomatoes and had many green tomatoes left over. I've worked in a deli next to the butcher, believe me you don't want to eat soot (fat) they put in commercial mincemeat's. This does taste like mincemeat but lighter. The spices are good for you and cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vinegar will kill parasites in the most natural way!
You have natural fiber and properties that bring your body Ph balance normal. (Ginger, fruit peels)
Once you make it up it last me for about five years. I canned mine in quart jars. Your friends love this as a gift, because you cannot buy it and expensive to make. I love mincemeat but none is better than this.
