Mincemeat Pie.

[Pryderi]

Am I the only person that like it?

[barbtries]

1. quite possibly

since my mother died almost 32 years ago. it's been missing from thanksgiving ever since.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Nope, my dear Pryderi!

I LOVE it!

I used to be able to find mincemeat in the store, but not lately.

It is a wonderful pie, and especially at the holidays.

7. CP, accordign to what I can find, it's a seasonal item

So maybe this time of year you can find mincement. One brand I've seen at the major supermarket here is Crosse & Blackwell. Amazon seems to have it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear csziggy!

Amazon has it? Oh boy.......I have a permanent account with them.

Thank You!

[csziggy]

21. Read the reviews, though

Crosse & Blackwell mincemeat gets a bad rap - too sweet with high fructose corn syrup being a main ingredient. There are some other brands that get better reviews, all on Amazon.

And then there are the recipes for 'authentic' mincemeat, some with real meat or with suet in them. Though there were some with lots of fruit that sounded good, especially the pear mincemeat recipe out of the Ball Blue Book that makes about 9-10 pints. http://www.gatheringaroundthetable.com/2008/10/pear-mincemeat-keeper-from-recipe-box.html That would be nearly a decade of mincemeat pies for me if a pint makes a pie! I'd have to make them more often.

28. Granny always used 'Nonesuch' canned mince meat.

Might be only available in the South.
I liked her pies.

[HarveyDarkey]

40. I bought two jars of Nonesuch here in Iowa last week

It's actually a Borden product & makes (made) great pies

[csziggy]

3. I like it, too!

Especially with hard sauce.

I haven't had one for years - maybe I'll make one this year.

[ohiosmith]

4. I love it!

[Angry Dragon]

5. I like it

[Graybeard]

6. I miss it so much.

Mincemeat Pie was always one of our family's Holiday treats. Mom would keep tasting as she mixed to be sure there was "enough" booze in it. (Maybe a little more.) Hahahaha.

Very hard to find jars of mince in the markets. You've convinced me I must make one or two this year. I'll check on-line for a supplier.

[PoliticAverse]

8. You can have the mincemeat pie but I get the fruitcake! n/t

[HarveyDarkey]

10. Not at all

Not only do I like it, it's one of my favorites

[OriginalGeek]

11. It's my grandpa's second favorite

right behind rhubarb. I don't care for either but I'm gonna make sure he gets one or the other this year. I'll try for both.

[Buck Turgidson]

12. Just made the Alton Brown recipe with suet and a half of a cup of Hennesey VS.

Do I have to wait until T-day to taste a slice?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. It would be a crime to wait till Thanksgiving for a slice!

You can always make another one...



LOVE your username!

[Pryderi]

14. Thanks!! I may have to try that instead of getting the jar. n/t

[rrneck]

15. Count me in. One of my faves. nt

[surrealAmerican]

16. I was just thinking about this.

I've never actually eaten mincemeat, but am considering making it this year.

[HopeHoops]

17. Well, it doesn't have meat in it, but I won a pie eating contest with that in like '74.

I honestly don't think I've had it since.

[Denninmi]

18. I tried it once or twice.

Not bad, but not on my food plan. I don't intend to deviate over the holidays. Did that once years ago, was doing WW, and gained 6-7 pounds. Was too embarrassed to go back until I lost that, well, I went the other way, was up like 60 lbs, and had to go back then. Kinda like now...

Nope, no cheating. It's just food. It's not a friend, confidant, or narcotic.

[lastlib]

19. NO

I'm a fan--my grandmother made the BEST mincemeat pie on earth!

[Catlover827]

20. That and divinity were the only things Mom made that I didn't like

Just don't care for it.

[Little Star]

23. I had to google divinity. Had never even heard of it....

Is this what you are referring to?

Reminds me of these:

http://www.missmeringue.com/Minis-and-100-Calorie-Pack-Minis/c/MissMeringue@Minis

I must say one has to be careful about how many of these they eat or you could become very constipated if your not. lol

[Catlover827]

26. Yes, the Betty Crocker stuff is the stuff.

For some reason it always nauseated me just to look at it. I wonder if I'd like it if I tried it now.

[susanr516]

33. My father loved divinity

although I think it's way too sweet. My Daddy loved divinity. I made it for him for Christmas one time.

He died about 12 years ago. Damn, I miss my Daddy.

Thank you for triggering a long-lost memory. May you have a happy and memorable holiday season.

[sarge43]

22. Nope. Love it.

With a scoop of vanilla ice cream - lovely.

[MineralMan]

24. No. I insist on it every Christmas.

Normally, I get to eat the whole thing over the next week.

[nuxvomica]

25. Mincemeat pie is okay but I prefer the cupcakes

They're basic cupcakes with mincemeat (Nonesuch) and coffee added. My mother frosts them with chocolate but I like them unfrosted so I guess they're muffins.

[larocks4552s]

27. nope. I like eating that stuff too

scrumptious. mmm

[HipChick]

29. Only with Birds Eye Custard..

[Tom_Foolery]

30. Love it, love it, love it!!!! n/t

[LiberalEsto]

31. Ack. nt

[Moondog]

32. No.

[LWolf]

34. Do you mean

modern minced fruit pies, or original mincemeat pies?

I like the versions of minceMEAT pies I've tasted. Fruit pies, though...I'd rather have boysenberry or apple.

[MyNameGoesHere]

41. Since the 11th century they started using dried fruits to the minced meat.

That doesn't seem very modern. But I am having a hard time understanding whether you mean minced fruit, which would still be a fruit pie. Or the one that has meat and fruit.

[LWolf]

42. Most

mincemeat pies I've eaten are all minced fruit; no meat. When you buy "mincemeat" in a jar, it's all fruit. I'm talking about a pie that contains both minced meat and "mincemeat."

[MyNameGoesHere]

43. Well that clears it all up. eom

[HappyMe]

35. Ugh!

I prefer pumpkin or pecan pie. Apple is good stuff too.

[ceile]

36. I've only had it once in my life and I loved it.

My gramma made it for my uncle (her son) as a special treat one year - to die for!
I'm not a baker by any means, but maybe I'll try and find her recipe...

[Pryderi]

37. Any luck?

[ceile]

39. Not yet.

My sis got Oma's recipe book - it wasn't very organized. She's still looking. Maybe for xmas...

[4th law of robotics]

38. It's ok. I'm curious what an original mincemeat tasted like

with actual meat.

[polly7]

44. Love, love, love it. nt.
