Mom's

Dad loved mincemeat pie, and Mom always made the filling. Just as recipe culture changes over the years, I am sure Mom changed her recipe over the years.

Time 4h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 c braised beef roast, very finely minced
3/4 c beef broth (use broth from braising the beef.)
3 c apples, peeled and finely diced.
1 c raisins
3/4 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 c white sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 Tbsp orange zest
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp sweetened lemonade mix
1 c orange juice
1 tsp gelatin, unflavored dissolved in 2 tablespoon of water

Steps:

  • 1. To braise the beef: Put a beef roast in a Dutch oven with a quart of water, cover, and roast at 350 degrees for 3 hours. Cool, trim fat, and mince enough beef for 2 cups. (Plan to have enough braised beef left over for dinner!)
  • 2. Add the prepared beef and all the other ingredients to a large pot.
  • 3. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 4. Allow to cool and refrigerate.
  • 5. Note: Substitute 2 Tablespoons frozen lemonade concentrate or juice of 1/2 lemon and 2 teaspoons of sugar for the powdered lemonade mix.
  • 6. Use the mincemeat to make two-crust pies. It can be frozen and used as desired. Remember to refrigerate the final product: it has meat in it!
  • 7. Use 4 cups mincemeat to make a 9" pie. Bake at 425 degrees or until pastry is golden. Cool partially on a wire rack before serving.
