Mincemeat
Mincemeat Recipe....Emma
found this somewhere on the web, cannot remember where.
Take two pounds of finely chopped suet, four pounds of grated bread crumbs, four pounds of currants, four pounds of raisins, five pounds of brown sugar, one and one-half pounds of candied peel, lemon, orange and citron, six pounds of apple, weighed after being chopped, two tablespoons of cinnamon, two tablespoons of cloves, one tablespoon of mace, one tablespoon of salt and two quarts of boiled cider. The ingredients are blended without being boiled; put away in jars set in a cool place this mince will keep.
Very Old Mincemeat Recipe .......Emma
Ingredients:
8 pounds beef stew meat
2 pounds suet
12 pounds chopped apples
2 pounds raisins
1 tablespoon allspice
1 tablespoon cloves
1 pound chopped citron
3 pounds brown sugar
1 lemon
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons salt
boiled cider
In a large pot, simmer the unsalted meat until very tender. Cool the meat and then run through a food grinder twice.
Place the ground meat back into the pot with the same water.(most of the water will be boiled down) Add all other ingredients to the pot and add enough boiled cider so the mixture is moistened well, but not too wet. Simmer and stir until the apples are cooked-takes about an hour. Seal in sterilized jars while still hot.
The above recipe comes from the 1907 Ladies Aid Cookbook.
