Apple Mincemeat

Stew a pound of beef until very tender, mince it as small as possible; add two pounds of apples, one pound of finely-shredded suet, two pounds of currants, half a pound of stoned raisins, and three-quarters of a pound of sugar. The apples, raisins, and suet should all be minced separately. Mix these ingredients well together, with one nutmeg grated, a little mace, the gravy in which the meat was stewed, a whole lemon chopped, one glass of brandy, and two glasses of port wine. Keep it in covered jars. Time to prepare, about an hour. Probable cost, 3s. 6d., without the brandy and wine. Sufficient to make six pounds of mincemeat.
