My mother always made green tomato mince meat every fall. Since the frost came early where we lived, she'd pick all the green tomatoes, grind them up with apples, raisins, an orange and a lemon, cook it with spices and can it for pies all winter. Also she had a nice mince meat cake recipe she made.

Every time I see a carrot cake recipe it looks like an awful lot of oil is in it. Has anyone tried using less oil and if so, how did it turn out?

Posted by JUDY O

These cakes are rich from the oil I haven't tried altering any of the one's I have posted,apple cake,carrot cake or the banana pineapple walnut cake.However My mom in laws Poormans cake I did change a few things like using oil or butter in place of the lard the original recipe contained.I have added applesauce or pureed pumpkin to add moisture in her cake with good results.I'll have to try adding fruit to increase moisture.Even so these cakes are very rich and should be eaten in moderation.I wish I could convince hubby and son of this.lol I always have a small piece of something sweet in the evening with a nice cup of French press coffee and that satisfies my sweet tooth and gives me something to look forward to.
