Mock Mince Pie
|
| The various ingredients
in the quantities mentioned will make enough for four or five pies of regular
size. This is slightly more economical pie than the mince pie.
NOTE: Plain Pie Pastry is the very satisfactory and most frequently used pastry
recipe for mock mince pie preparation, but several other recipes for pastry
that may be used in making mince pie are given in our Recipes for Pie Pastry section.
Ingredients:
-
2 cups suet (usually beef fatty
substance)
-
8 apples
-
8 crackers
-
1 cup sugar

2 cup cider
-
1/2 cup vinegar
-
1 lb. raisins
-
1 Tb. cinnamon

1 tsp. cloves

1 tsp. nutmeg

1 tsp. salt
Preparation:
-
Force the suet and apples through
a food chopper or chop them in a chopping bowl.
-
Crush the crackers with a rolling
pin and add them.
-
Add the sugar, molasses, corn
sirup, cider, vinegar, raisins, spices, and salt.
-
Cook together very slowly for
about 1 hour, stirring to prevent burning. If more liquid is required,
add cider or some other fruit juice, or, if these are not available, add
plain water.
-
Fill the lower crust of the
pie with this mixture, cover with the top crust, and start baking in a hot oven, gradually lowering the temperature and continuing to bake for
40 to 50 minutes.
