What is mincemeat made of?

Question

At Thankgiving, my family was trying to find this out. We got into this whole debate. Any answers are appreciated.

Answer 1

Mince meat is made from dry fruit apples, raisins, and meat. In the old day before refrigeration they would mince meat and can it to preserve it. If you look on the ingredient list on a mincemeat jar it will label beef as about the tenth ingredient, so there is not a whole lot. if there is no meat in it , it is mock mince meat.

Answer 2

Mincemeat NOW is usally raisins, apples. and other fruits in a spiced mixure. It used to have meat in the name. Hereis what Wikipedia says about it..

Mincemeat was originally a conglomeration of bits of meat, dried fruit and spices, created as an alternative to smoking or drying for preservation, a variant form of sausage. Mincemeat containing actual meat has become less common over the years. The customary form today typically consists of raisins, spices, grated apple, and animal suet, though many commercial varieties use hard vegetable fat instead, making it completely vegetarian. Mincemeat may also contain currants, candied fruits, and brandy, rum or other liquor.

This mixture can be made at home, but is also available either canned or bottled. The most common use is in the Christmas mince pie or mincemeat tart, but there are many kinds of pastry containing mincemeat.
