More than just "quite tasty," this pie is really outstanding! Extremely rich, for sure, but that's what mince pies are! I whipped up egg nog from a recipe I have on file, & then got into the store of mince AND frozen cranberries that I have on hand throughout the year! The one alteration I made was to cut the amount of sugar in half! The cranberries cut the sweetness of the mince, & the mince, in turn, kept the berries from being too tart! I made it as a 9-inch deep dish pie & because it's so rich, I cut it into 10 slices! Absolutely a keeper recipe! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Bargain Basement recipe tag]

Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p>
