NOTES: Donated by Mary Myers, Yorkshire, England. Her mothers Mincement. She says this is one of my favorite pies and you can’t find mincemeat in the stores made like this. The balance can be bottled in 1 pint containers for the freezer, or canned if preferred. There are possibly 4-5 pints for future use.
