Mince Meat Without Meat No 2 Recipe

To make a mince meat that will keep for five or six years, take four

pounds of raisins of the sun, stoned and chopped very fine, five pounds

of currants, three pounds of beef suet shred very fine, the crumb of a

half-quartern loaf, three pounds of loaf-sugar, the peel of four lemons

grated, half an ounce of nutmeg, a quarter of an ounce of mace, the same

of cloves, and one pint of good brandy. When you make your pies, add

about one third of apple chopped fine; and to each pie put six or eight

small slices of citron and preserved orange-peel, with a table-spoonful

of sweet wine, ratafia, and a piece of a large lemon mixed together.
