Directions
MINCE MEAT — Two pounds kidney beef suet, one pound seeded raisins, one pound sultana raisins, one pound currants, one-fourth pound citron peel, one-fourth pound orange peel, one-half pound figs, one tablespoon salt, one nutmeg grated, one tablespoon cinnamon, one-half teaspoon mace, one-half teaspoon cloves, grated rind and juice of two lemons, two quarts cider, two pounds brown sugar, one pound dates, twelve pounds apples and one small glass sherry or brandy. Boil the beef the day before with just enough water so that when the meat is tender the water will be boiled back into the meat. The following morning add the sugar to cider and boil until half the amount remains. Put meat and suet through food chopper, and the raisins, citron and orange peel, dates, figs and apples may be cut by hand or put through coarse food chopper. Mix all together and bring to boil and seal boiling hot. The juice of pickled peaches or pears added greatly improves the flavor.
