Regarding minced meat pie - I used to make it every Thanksgiving - but should have made it at least every couple months. It is wonderful hot or cold, and gives the taste buds a sweet, spicy bite. (I use the jars of prepared minced meat..... I used to use the dehydrated kind, that came in a little box.)

I usually add extra raisins and finely chopped apples - makes the pie go farther.

Last year, it was about $6.00 a jar (making a very skimpy 8” pie.) This year it will probably cost $10/jar - and will be totally out of the question - and off the menu.

I think I still have Grandma’s recipe to make it from scratch, if anyone is interested, I’ll look it up.
