Mincemeat, The REAL thing circa 1938

"I remember *real* mincemeat as was layed down in the food cupboard in our basement every fall. It's got something that you just don't get in cans or jars. Hope you like it. This is the way Prudence Penny said to do it and that's good enough for me."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

May 2005: T. Woolfe recently passed away. He will be greatly missed by his friends at Recipezaar. -- Recipezaar Editor ***************************************************** Well lessee. I'm a retired, post 65 male live-alone, self taught but been cooking most of my life, wrote a cookbook for friends http://www.heywired.org/TIMM/cookwoof.htm Favorite cooking books Cookwise by Shirley Corriher, an old Joy of Cooking, Jeff Smiths The Frugal Gourmet, Julia & Jacques Cooking at Home, and a couple of those private printings. A Word on How I feel about RATEINGS. I reserve that fifth star for SUPRISE ME purposes. The new combination. The Idea that I haven't seen before. The spark that elevates a recipie from the ordinary-with-variations. If I don't seem to give a lot of 5s that's why. A 4 is a great taste.
