Nope.
There are about 100,000 different recipes for mincemeat.
I found that out when I tried to make one for my grandpa a few years ago. That was his Christmas wish that year.
There was no way in the world I could replicate my grandmother's minced meat pie having no idea what all she actually put in it.
Every time I was at her house while she was making one she would always tell me that I liked it the last time..and it did smell wonderful so I'd give in and try it. Horrible. Every. Time.
I ended up buying a jar of mince meat from the store. It smelled so great, and I knew it didn't actually have meat in it like Grandma's did so I foolishly made the mistake of trying it one last time.
Never again.
Of course now I have to make one to see for myself. Or two, one with meat, one without.
