Smells terrific, can't wait to use it for tarts at Christmas. I used apple cider vinegar and added 1/2 cup cognac after it was cooked. Update: now December, my kitchen smells lovely, the mincemeat is excellent!! Another update 12/07! I had a jar of this delicious mincemeat from the last batch I made in October 2006 and used it to make my mincemeat tarts this week, it was so good. Keeps well and tastes great! Thanks for posting Helen!

I made the mincemeat in October and pies for Thanksgiving. It was great. My great grandmother was a chef and made her own mincemeat (the real mincemeat with meat), when my mom tasted this she said "your great grandmother would approve". I added a little rum just before putting it in the jars. Highly reccomended!
