Mincemeat, Old-Fashioned

Take a pound of beef, a pound of apples, two pounds of suet, two pounds of sugar, two pounds of currants, one pound of candied lemon or orange-peel, a quarter of a pound of citron, and an ounce of fine spices; mix all these together, with half an ounce of salt, and the rinds of six lemons shredded finely. See that the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated, and add brandy or wine according to taste.
