I&...I came across this recipe via Smitten Kitchen. I'm thrilled. My grandmother and mom - Nova Scotians - always made traditional mincemeat: lots of raisins, apples, suet, and venison. It's delicious. However, it's a pain to stir, and stir, and stir, and stir, so Mom would only make it if her two sons were around to relieve her. Now that we've moved away, we don't get it any more. And now that I don't eat meat, I couldn't have it anyway. This is a long winded way of saying thanks for an easy, veg-friendly mincemeat recipe.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!!Jamoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09185303636386903655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33926326.post-76974963239367541262009-12-21T21:29:36.059-05:002009-12-21T21:29:36.059-05:00Hi Melanie- I avoided mincemeat for years--until I...Hi Melanie- I avoided mincemeat for years--until I realized no one makes it with suet anymore!

Most mincemeat that you purchase at the grocery store certainly has never come close to anything bovine!<br /><br />I'm sure there are still mothers & grandmothers who make the old-school version but I think now, pretty much anything goes!<br /><br />Hi Melissa- hope you try it! My dad's British, so we always had it around over the holidays.<br /><br />Hi Maria- How cool of a daughter are you?! Reminds me, I should ship some to my dad..<br /><br />Hi Elizabeth- Ah yes, I remember those holidays of abstinence, not so fun. At least it's for a good cause, right?Aiméehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140507869283907555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33926326.post-40421219646620877882009-12-17T16:12:58.638-05:002009-12-17T16:12:58.638-05:00I love Sortilège!!

I'm sure the little ones loved it by the looks of that picture!<br /><br />Oh and to answer one of your commentators questions (can't help myself!), "Real" mincemeat does indeed contain suet AND meat, although I have yet to see the "real" deal in any store, ever. I think mincemeat has become what Aimee has made for us today, rather than a way to use up leftover meat when butchering a steer.Elizabethhttp://guiltykitchen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33926326.post-16437074717506885552009-12-17T15:14:36.473-05:002009-12-17T15:14:36.473-05:00My dad loves loves loves mincemeat!

My mother made this way back in the 30's and 40's when I was a kid and I know it was made when we butchered a steer. I want to think she used meat the same as she used for head cheese, which is whole different recipe.
