Mincemeat PieWith the holidays just around the corner we wanted to come up with something festive.  So, here’s an “old timer’s” recipe for mincemeat pie.

Boil the neck meat of a cow, deer or elk until tender.  Grind the meat.  Cook with a cup of vinegar for about three hours.  Add cooked apples, raisins, some allspice, cinnamon, cloves, molasses and black pepper.  Heat thoroughly all ingredients.  If you want a little kick, add some brandy or whiskey.

The ingredients can be stored in a covered bowl in a cool place until you are ready to use them.  Just before placing the mincemeat in a pie crust you can add some freshly diced apples.
