Pies with Cider

Three pounds of good beef, lean and fat together; nine quarts of green apples quartered; three pounds of good raisins; nine cups of good hard cider, or five cups of good vinegar and four cups of water; six pounds of sugar, or twelve cups pressed full and rounded; one and one-half cups suet cut fine, or the same of butter; one and a half ounces of cinnamon and three-fourths ounce of cloves ground together. Put all into a kettle and simmer until well heated through, then pack into a jar for use.
