====================
->  -> Dunno...  In times past, I used to use rolled oats instead of bread 
for
->  -> meatloaf, along with a good amount of tomato juice to add liquid for
->  -> it...  When I had them in the house, I'd sub in wheat flakes and/or 
rye
->  -> flakes or other rolled grains for part of the oats.  We thought it
->  -> tasted pretty good.   :)  No complaints from my family, anyway... ;)
-> 
->  SR> Tomato juice isn't V8, although it's not far off.  I'm not sure
what
->  SR> the other flakes would do to the texture.  Mom's always needed more
->  SR> spice, and adding ketchup just didn't cut it.
-> 
-> V8 100% Vegetable Juice is a lie on the face of the can. It's 87% fruit
-> (tomato*) juice. Then come the vegetables and herbs ... carrots, celery, 
beets,
-> parsley, lettuce, watercress and spinach.
-> 
-> * The tomato is the edible, often red fruit of the plant Solanum 
lycopersicum,
-> commonly known as a tomato plant.
-> 
And is all around nasty and Ruth-proof.  It also tends to be salty as all 
get-out, so it tastes like a very salty tomato juice. Bleurgh, as Michael 
would say.

-> As to the wheat and/or rye flakes ... they should have the same texture 
as
-> oats. Taste? Dat part I'm not sure about. But, then, I'm not a big fan
of
-> meatloaf anyway.

The rye might be a little off. The pie sounds like it might be good. Green 
tomatoes can be useful.   
 

    Title: Green Tomato Pie

Green Tomato Mincemeat
 


"Apples, oranges, lemons, brown sugar, raisins, oodles of spices and green 
tomatoes combine to make an incredibly flavorful concoction. Everything is 
simmered for hours on the stove before they are put into jars and sealed. 
Makes 30 pints of perfect stocking stuffers."

INGREDIENTS:
8 quarts green tomatoes, minced
8 quarts minced, cored apples
1/2 pound beef suet
6 pounds brown sugar
1 cup distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons ground cloves
2 tablespoons ground allspice
2 pounds raisins
32 ounces candied mixed citrus peel
(optional)
7 large orange, peeled, sectioned, and
cut into bite-size
2 lemons, finely chopped

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a very large stock pot, combine green tomatoes, apples, suet (or 
oil), brown sugar, vinegar, chopped oranges, chopped lemons, raisins, and 
candied peel. Season with salt, cinnamon, cloves and allspice. Cover, and 
cook over low heat for 3 hours.
2. Sterilize 30 (1 pint) canning jars and lids according to 
manufacturer's instructions.
3. Ladle filling into the sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space. 
Wipe the jar with a clean, damp cloth. Cover with jars with lids, and screw 
on jar rings.
4. Heat water in a hot water canner. Place jars in rack, and slowly 
lower jars into canner. The water should cover the jars completely, and 
should be hot but not boiling. Bring water to a boil, and process for 10 
minutes.
