This recipe produces the most fantastic mincemeat-and we are very lucky to be the recipients of Bev's mother Mary's efforts in the summer so that we can enjoy a traditional mincemeat pie on Christmas Day. It's not the sweet, glutinous mass that you may be familiar with--this is identifiable chunks of fruit, in a heavenly spiced mix, and yes, it does have meat in it. Encased in Bev's wonderful pastry-its a mouth-watering and delicious part of our Christmas celebrations. Thanks to Bev and Mary from all of us, for all the pies, and all the love that goes into them.
