![]() Old Fashioned Mincemeat Pie A traditional family favorite ... a treasured recipe from Grandma. This pie is present at each family gathering, especially around the holidays. We like it lean and slightly sweet. Plan to take all day preparing it, which is almost as enjoyable as eating it! Boil or cook in a steamer, a 3-4 pound rib roast in 3 or 4 cups water, until the meat is so tender it falls apart. Cut into bite-sized pieces and return to the broth and continue to simmer on the stove top. Add the following, stirring each in as you go: 2-3 cups apple cider a 1 lb box of raisins 1 cup chopped dried mixed candied fruit peel about 1/4 cup of sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon * 1 teaspoon cloves 5-6 meduim apples, chopped to bite size Continue to simmer and stir occasionally as the raisins and apples absorb the liquid. Hint: Keep tasting ... add a little more sugar, spice or apple juice as suits you. The idea is to have a semi-tart but spicy base. But do it gradually until you find it to your liking. The raisins should swell up to take up the meat liquid, and more apples are always good. This will make enough for 3-4 pies. (It stores well in the freezer.) Use the crust recipe below, or your own. Spoon the cooked and cooled mincemeat filling into the unbaked crust, use a sharp knife to make vents in the top crust, and bake at 425 degrees about 20 minutes, or until your crust is golden brown. As you can see Grandma cooked more by tasting than by measuring, but it always seemed to pay off! She also sometimes added a handful of walnut meats to the mincemeat just before baking. If you enjoy the recipe, feel free to print and share it! Flaky Pie Crust 1/2 cup oil 1/4 cup milk Stir in 2 cups flour and 1 tsp salt. Roll out and you have it! -- Rec.food.recipes is moderated by Patricia Hill at . Only recipes and recipe requests are accepted for posting. Please allow several days for your submission to appear.
