This recipe came from my MOM, I use it every year, and usually get about 8-10 pies out of it. I have them for our own use, and for family and friends that like the old-fashioned mincemeat. I make it with ground venison every chance I get - so tasty!!

An old-time delicious mincemeat pie filling. I have frozen this filling in zip-lock baggies, since I don't use a pressure canner. Apple cider can be used in place of brandy if preferred.
