Green Tomato Mincemeat.

courtesy of Keeping The Harvest. I used to make this each fall, and provided the mincemeat pies at holidays. Even my very young niece and nephews liked it!!

Yes, this is a canning recipe, but I'm betting you could package and freeze this. (I'd freeze this is a well-sealed ziploc bag placed inside a pie pan to make a "ready to bake" frozen pie filling.)

2 qt. green tomatoes 1 pound raisins
1 orange 3.5 C brown sugar
2.5 qts. apples 2 tsp. cinnamon
1 Tbs salt 1 tsp. clove
1/2 tsp ginger 1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 C. vinegar

Wash and drain tomatoes, orange and apples. Chop up the tomatoes, sprinkle with sale and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and cover with boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain again. Grate the rind and chop the pulp of the orange. Core, pare and chop apples. Mix all ingredients and boil slowly until tender. Pour into hot, clean pint jars and seal, allowing 1/2" of headroom. Process in a boiling-water bath for 25 minutes. Yeild 6 pints. Ideal for pies or cookies.

A visit to a Tomato Tasting

Cooking Up a Story — Thu, 05 Oct 2006 09:08:06 -0500

I just posted a show this week about the yearly Tomato Turn On here at our local Farmer's Market. They had a great turn-out, both people and tomatoes! In addition to the show, there are two recipes from tomato lovers. My favorite during tomato season is to slice them and eat away.

I reckon we could round up even more tomato posts before the season is out.

The tomatoes just keep coming in vegetable gardens everywhere, and food bloggers are finding a lot of creative ways to use them.

Blogher contributing editor Sam Breach already brought us a lot of tomato love with her August round-up of great tomato recipes. But the recipes keep coming, along with not-to-be-missed ideas to make the tomato harvest last all winter, so here's a bit more tomato love for your tomato enjoying pleasure!

First, Sher's great recipe for Tomato Chutney is definitely one of the things I'll be trying with my own glut of tomatoes.

Lots of food bloggers are writing about roasting tomatoes, including Blogher Contributing editor Alanna, who posted a great piece on slow roasted tomatoes last summer, which inspired many of us. Another take on roasted tomatoes was seen at Small Farms, where Tana calls them Godiva Tomatoes.

This year, Alanna reminded us to get roasting our tomatoes again with her post on slow roasted tomato soup, a dish not to be missed.

Also not to be missed is the Roasted Tomato Sauce at Champaign Taste.

Chef Paz makes a Roasted Baby Roma Tomato and Feta Tart that's also a definite keeper.

If you're canning your tomatoes, you can get tips from Andrea's Recipe Box or A Veggie Venture.

A great Terrific Tomato Soup was spotted on Anne's Food in Sweden.

In a fantastic post titled "Red" Angelika of the Flying Apple in Vienna makes Tomato Sugo and Roasted Red Peppers to freeze so she can have those flavors all winter.

A very unique way to preserve tomatoes was seen on Coffee and Cornbread, where Coffeepot makes Yellow Tomato, Lemon, and Basil Jam.

An informative post about How to Dry Tomatoes was spotted on Gastronomy 101.

Last, but not least, a unique use of sun-dried tomatoes is the Sun-Dried Tomato and Peppercorn Biscotti at 28 Cooks.

I know there are many more great ideas for using tomatoes that I've missed. If you have a good tomato recipe, leave a link, (or the recipe itself if you're not a food blogger) in the comments so we can all enjoy it.

Blogher contributing editor Kalyn Denny has also been obsessed with tomatoes lately, posting about How to Make Slow Roasted Tomatoes, as well as freezing plain tomato sauce, and making Sun-dried Tomato Pesto.
