Mincemeat Pie???
Posted: Tue Nov 07, 2006 10:16 am
My mother used to make mincemeat pies for Thanksgiving every year. But, about 15 years ago, she started buying them from a local bakery. It's a very good bakery and the pies are good, but her pies were better. I'm not sure how she made them. While Googling about mincemeat, there are recipes that require preparing the mixture 1 week to 1 month ahead of time. Since Thanksgiving will be here in a few weeks, I figure if I'm going to try my stab at it, I'd better get moving. There are also reference to "Cross and Blackwell", which, I believe, is an English brand. I'm pretty sure my mother used some sort of mixture she bought at the store and added it to raisins, apples, etc. Can anybody give me a little guidance here?
