Mincemeat Pie
This recipe was in a 50’s paper back book of recipes from famous restaurants. The book is long gone, but the recipe remains. I used to make it for myself, and kept it on a steam heat radiator so it was warm whenever I wanted a slice.
3 to 4 cups of prepared mincemeat
1 1/2 cups walnuts, coarsely broken
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup brandy
Pastry for a two crust deep 9 inch pie
Several days in advance, combine all the ingredients.
Refrigerate to allow flavors to mingle.
Preheat oven to 425 F
Prepare crust
Pour in filling, topping with a crust
Bake for 30 minutes or until brown.
Serves 6 to 8.
Note: Serve warm, with Hard Sauce or a slice of sharp Cheddar cheese.
