This has been my favorite holiday pie since I was a little girl. My grandmother, Mabel Myers, used to make her own homemade mincemeat. My mother used to make this pie just for me every Thanksgiving.

Unfortunately, most people have never tasted a true old-fashioned mincemeat pie (also called mince pie). The flavor of real mince meat pie (not the bottled version purchased at your local store) is sort of like a Middle Eastern mixture of cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. There's a definite meaty taste, which I really liked, with an ever-so-slight sweet flavor. Check out Grandma Myers' Mincemeat Recipe and Elsie's Green Tomato Mincemeat Recipe.
