MMMMM.... yum! My mom always made mincemeat pie for the holidays. I didn't like it as a kid, but I sure miss it now! So different than the meatless mince'meat' pies. Her recipe was handed down from my great grandma, and also made about a dozen pies. She would freeze the extra in quart size portions. One of the most important ingredients is the suet. Make sure you get real suet, which is a special, hard fat around the kidneys. It won't come out the same with 'regular' fat. You may have to order it special.
