Actually, I am not particularly fond of mincemeat. The spices are great, but there is something about bear meat that I just don’t like. Then our friend Gail, found a cookbook with a Green Tomato Mincemeat recipe in it. She says that it is almost exactly like her Mother made. And this is Really good! Here is the recipe and the information on the cookbook. Enjoy!! Green Tomato Mincemeat from Old-Fashioned Tomato Recipes including Green Tomato Recipes. Thanks Gail!

My parents canned mincemeat from Dad's venison. Everything hand ground, pots simmering all day. It was delicious. (I have the recipe). I begged to take mincemeat sandwiches to school. They were even better sprinkled with brandy. And of course there was Mom's pie. I think it received more than just a sprinkle!

my mother-in-law made fabulous mince meat with hamburger and suet. You really never tasted either….just spices, apples and, I think, Bourbon. It took a long time to make.

It's all about the bourbon!

I was raised on green tomato mince, Bob, and it's still my favorite. Far tastier that the meat variety to me and perhaps even a bit more healthful, in spite of all the sugar.
