I’ve never really cared for mincemeat, but a family member requested a mincemeat pie, so I decided obviously it would be better made from scratch instead of using the suspicious looking stuff in a jar 😀

Wow! I made the mincemeat last week and baked it into a pie today….and it’s a big hit!
Thank you so much for the recipe.

I made this today and it turned out great. I used what we had on hand for liquor, which was a combination of Vanilla Crown Royal and Woodford Reserve. I wish I could add a picture of how it turned out.

when I was a kid, (I’m 74 now) my mom would make the mincemeat and make stuffed cookies. Sad to say I never learned how she made them but it was a Christmas cookie she gave away every year. Yummyl

I made this yesterday. I used zest from both a lemon and orange because I had both on hand. I didn’t have any brandy but had Fireball Whiskey which is a cinnamon flavoured whisky. This recipe is wonderful. It is not the sickly sweet jarred mincemeat. It is both spicy with just enough sweetness to make it tasty. Once it is in the pastry shells it will be terrific. I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings but sometimes many comments made that something is missing or wrong are usually the result of the reader misreading or skipping over parts of the recipe. I would suggest that if you think something is wrong carefully read the recipe before commenting. Thanks for posting. I will keep this recipe for next year. I may even just make it early in 2021 to mature for next Christmas. Christmas wishes to you and your family. Keep safe.

Do you have the mincemeat pie recipe on your website? Planning on making the mincemeat Wednesday and would love to make a pie for Thanksgiving but not sure of temperature and timing. Thank you.

In reply to Marah. Hi, thanks for catching that. It is 1/8 teaspoon Ground Cloves and you should add them when you add the fruit and the sugars!

It says 1/4 tsp ground cloves and then 1/8 tsp ground cloves…. So which one is correct???
Also, the instructions neves specify when to add all the spices…
