As a British expat who won't be traveling home for Christmas this year, I'm faced with a sad mince pie shortage. These rich, buttery, hand-held pies are a quintessential seasonal treat, delicious warm from the oven, but almost as good snatched from the tin in the cupboard and enjoyed late at night with a hot toddy. And that explains why very few people I know actually truly enjoy mincemeat versus simply eating it out of tradition (or being forced to so as not to offend Grandma!). Sadly the authentic way of making mincemeat has been largely lost in the last century. Then they were made of a spiced, sweet meat mixture but are now commonly made with sweet mincemeat, a mixture of dried fruits, sugar, spices, and brandy (and no meat).
