How to Make Mincemeat For 2 Pies

  1. Brown 1 lb beef (or venison) in a large pot over medium-high heat. Drain off excess fat.
  2. Add 2 cups beef broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until beef is very tender, about 1.5-2 hours.
  3. Remove beef from pot and let cool completely. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
  4. Once cooled, coarsely grind the beef using a meat grinder.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, 1/2 cup suet, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup currants, 1/2 cup chopped apples, 1/4 cup chopped citron, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons molasses, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, and 1/4 cup reserved beef broth.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish or small roaster. Stir occasionally, and bake in a 325°F (160°C) oven until the apples are tender and the mincemeat is heated through, about 45-60 minutes.
  7. Cool completely before storing in the refrigerator for up to a week or freezing for longer storage.
  8. Makes enough mincemeat for two large pies.
