Mincemeat

For many, many years we have produced mincemeat in the fall months in preparation for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. We like to add a touch of old fashioned goodness to your special holiday meals.

Mincemeat is a combination of apples, raisins, beef, sherry, rum, cider and spices combined for a specialty taste for pie and can be used for other baking items. The mixture is spooned into a pie shell, covered with a top crust, and baked as you would an apple pie. It is also good with a crumb topping.

Mincemeat can be used in numerous other desserts, such as cakes, cookies, bars, tarts, cookie squares, and pastries.
