Mock Mincemeat - BWB?

I came across this recipe that does not have a BWB process time and would love to preserve it properly. I am also asking if it has enough acidity for canning it safely. There is no sugar added but it is naturally sweet with all the fruits in it, and I think I would use brandy flavoring (not oil) instead of real brandy.
Mock Mincemeat (no meat)
8 C green tomatoes,finely chopped
4 C apples, finely chopped
3 C raisins, chopped
1/2 C mixed candied peel (orange, citron, etc.), chopped
1 t. salt
2 t. cinnamon
1 t. ground cloves
3/4 t. allspice or nutmeg
1/3 C apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
2 T. apple juice
1/2 C Brandy (optional)
Combine all but brandy in a large saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, stir in brandy, then ladle into hot, sterilized canning jars, cap with lids. Store in cool dry place. Makes about 7 cups.
Thanks!
