Description
Have no idea where the original of this recipe came from, but i've had it around for some 25 years & have tweaked it several times. This 'mincemeat' has no meat or suet in it! Serving size is estimated at 1/3 cup, & this recipe makes enough mince for at least 3 deep dish 9" pies. Preparation time does not include time needed for mincemeat to cool to room temperature. (see recipe #219691)
