30 quarts of mincemeat are produced in this way. Have 30 pint canning jars with new rings and lids on hand. It is not suggested to reuse old lids. a tasty method of utilizing green tomatoes. Our family has been cooking it for ever using my grandfather’s original recipe. For pies, cookies, muffins, or cake, use straight from the jar.

Made as written with the exception of the MSG and I grilled them all the way. Lose the MSG and they will be great if you chose to grill them all the way or bake them off in the oven. The MSG is not necessary and I highly recommend leaving it out. They are great without and that stuff is horrible for you.
