Preparation

Step 1

Drain the chopped tomatoes for 5 to 10 minutes, measuring drained juices; replace the juices with the same amount of apple cider. Mix all the ingredients, except the oil, in a large stainless steel pot. Simmer until thick - about 2 hours. Add the oil and stir well.

Ladle into sterilized, hot pint canning jars, leaving 1/2-inch head space. Seal and process for 25 minutes in a boiling water bath. Or, freeze mincemeat if preferred.
