Mincemeat has this stigma of being *yucky*, but it really is good and doesn't have to be just for the Holidays. Make it as a dessert for after a fine meal, you'll see!

What brand mincemeat do you use?

Mincemeat! Food of the Gods! Try mixing the mincemeat with orange marmalade. (and brandy, if you are so inclined) To make my mincemeat for pies, I take a large jar of Nonesuch, a 15oz tar of Orange Marmalade and combine them in a bowl and add Brandy or rum until the fumes knock me out. LOL!

A local store had a special on Cross and Blackwell mincemeat, at $2.50 for a huge jar. The stuff is to die for! Can't wait to try some with this recipe.
