GREEN TOMATO MOCK MINCEMEAT PIE



Green Tomato Mock Mincemeat Pie image

This recipe is 'The Holidays' for me. I remember the smell filling the house 60 years ago when my mom was cooking it. At the end of the tomato season, when the remaining tomatoes in the garden will not ripen, this is a great use for them. A note from my mother: I put a heaping teaspoon of tapioca on the bottom crust before I fill it. It will absorb some of the liquid.

MOCK MINCEMEAT PIE



Mock Mincemeat Pie image

My mother made this pie at Thanksgiving, and it's a great variation on apples and raisins with a hint of orange and cinnamon and cloves. She called it 'mock' because there is no meat involved. The filling mixture will keep for several days. Before using the filling, it's optional to stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of brandy.

Spicy and delicious, the combination of apples, zucchini, and carrots resembles that of mincemeat. Old fashioned English mincemeat pie includes ground suet and meat. This one does not.
