I used to hear about mincemeat, especially during the Fall and Winter, since it was often used in holiday recipes. Unlike my siblings, I enjoyed mincemeat pie when I was growing up. These days, I don't hear much about it, and so I got curious about what other dishes mincemeat is used in besides pie. I created this thread about mincemeat so members can post their mincemeat recipes, and people (including myself) can come to learn about what it is exactly, and what to do with it.
mince·meat
ˈminsˌmēt/
noun
Available in Condensed or Ready-to-Use, these fillings were traditionally used in pies and desserts, but are delicious any time of the year.
Excerpt from the None Such site: The recorded history of mincemeat can be traced to the year 1413, when it was served at the coronation of Henry V of England. In the late 1600’s, mincemeat was served as a meat pie flavored with fruit and spices. These pies, with more fruits and spices and less meat, were served as desserts when mincemeat was brought to Colonial America.
This is probably why people back home in New England eat it. I don't know of anyone here in Texas that eats or cooks with mincemeat.
There are currently 6 pages of recipes on the site, and here is the link: None Such Mincemeat Recipes
