Grandma C.'S Real Mince Meat Recipe

• 2 lbs. lean beef (or possibly venison) cooked & minced in sm. pcs

• 6 lbs. apple, peeled, cored & minced
• 2 oranges, seedless, finely grate skins & chop pulp
• 2 lbs. currants

• 6 c. brown sugar
• 4 c. sweet cider
• 4 tbsp. lemon juice
• 2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tbsp. each allspice, cinnamon & salt
• 1 teaspoon cloves
• 1 teaspoon ginger

1. Mix all together and simmer on low for about 2 hrs.
2. Can be packed into Ball jars.
3. However, I pack mine after cooling into freezer containers, measuring 1 pie filling into each container.
4. This makes sufficient for 20 pies.
