Award Winning Green Tomato Mincemeat image

Pears, carrots and raisins team up with the unlikely candidate of green tomatoes for a deliciously tangy-sweet mincemeat. This is a vegan recipe, perfect for pie or tart fillings at Christmas and it freezes well, too! This won me first prize in the Ontario Greenbelt Fresh Association's contest in 2008.
