- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: Common spices used in mincemeat include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, but you can also try adding other spices like ginger, cardamom, or allspice.
- Let the mincemeat mature: The longer you let the mincemeat mature, the better the flavor will be. If you can, let it sit for at least a week before using it.
- Use a light touch when mixing the mincemeat: Overmixing can make the mincemeat tough. Just mix it until the ingredients are combined.
- Don't overfill the pie crust: If you overfill the pie crust, the mincemeat will bubble over and make a mess. Leave about 1/2 inch of space between the mincemeat and the top of the pie crust.
