MOM'S INFAMOUS MINCEMEAT PIE
Mom's 88 yrs. old now, but her mincemeat pie was a staple every year at the weekly Lenten Luncheons at our church as well as family holiday dinners. I wonder if it had anything to do with the half cup of brandy or rum mom would add to her pie.

MINCEMEAT APRICOT PIE
Mincemeat is one of my favorite foods, but I'm aware that many people dislike the intenst taste of it. To accomodate some of my family members during the winter holidays, I've added some additional ingredients to make it less intense & more festive. I've also made this recipe as a 'pastryless' pie & simply spooned it onto serving plates -- very good, & takes much less time to make!

" TRADITIONAL" MINCEMEAT (FOR PIES)
I have 5 mincemeat recipes that I've used for making pies over the years, (4 of them are meatless). However my dad always preferred the "traditional" mincemeat pies and so do I. (I would be happy to post the "meatless" recipes on request). This is the Traditional (with meat) Mincemeat recipe that I made for many years. The only change I ever made in the original recipe was to substitute stew beef for the calves' tongues. Prep time includes the 4-6 weeks "standing" time.

MOCK MINCEMEAT PIE
My mother made this pie at Thanksgiving, and it's a great variation on apples and raisins with a hint of orange and cinnamon and cloves. She called it 'mock' because there is no meat involved. The filling mixture will keep for several days. Before using the filling, it's optional to stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of brandy.
