I think in order to review a recipe correctly you should make the recipe exactly as written, not monkey around with it. As such that's exactly what I did. I don't like this recipe, won't make it again. If I want mince meat I make a mincemeat pie. If I want custard I make custard or a custard pie. I do not like the 2 completely different textures in one pie and unlike one reviewer who said the low reviews aren't warranted I politely disagree. If I don't like a recipe I'm entitled to my opinion whether anyone else agrees with it or not. I grew up working alongside my grandmother who was in the restaurant/baking business and learned my techniques from her. I make my mincemeat from scratch and like a nice thick consistency. We grow 13 varieties of organic fruit & I dehydrate & freeze 100+ gallons of berries, grapes, rhubarb, apples, peaches etc every year so I am blessed to have a lot of variety of fruits at my disposal. I gave this recipe a neutral rating of 3 because it's just not my preference.

Absolutely delicious!!! I did increase the mincemeat to 1 1/3 cups, just to use half of what comes in the Nonesuch Mincemeat jar. This is my new favorite mincemeat pie recipe. The couple of bad reviews are absolutely unwarranted! 1 1/4 c. milk is correct and spices should be mixed into the sugar before adding liquids for the custard. My baking time was 15 minutes longer than the recipe calls for, but I think my mini-oven probably cooled down from the 425 temp faster than most ovens.

Custard mix was way too watery, and the spices did not mix very well, despite several minutes of mixing! Think milk amount is way too much - maybe try 1/4 cup, not 1 1/4 cups. Cooking time way too much - try 15-20 minutes tops! Wasted a whole batch of mincemeat and pie crust on this variation. Needs some revising!!
