Ever had a real homemade mince pie? We mean the authentic mincemeat pie made with meat (beef, lamb, or wild game) and suet simmering in spices, nuts, and fruit. During wartime, meat was rationed and started being left out of the holiday recipe. Mince pies became sticky sweet affairs. After my grandmother passed away, one of my aunts took over making the mincemeat and the pies.
