Jersey Pie
1/2 pound of currants. 1/2 pound of seedless raisins. 1 pound of brown sugar and molasses mixed. A little salt and pepper. 1 ounce of mixed ground spices--cinnamon, mace, cloves and alspice. 1/2 pound of crushed crackers or dry bread crumbs. 1 pint of cold water. 1/2 pint of vinegar or hard cider. 2 tablespoonfuls of lemon extract. 3/4 pound of butter, melted. 4 beaten eggs. Mix all the dry articles in a bowl, then add the fluids to the eggs, and pour over and mix in the melted butter by hard stirring. The proportion of molasses to sugar may be according to kind. All syrup will do. Make like other mince pies. A half pint of brandy added makes the resemblance very close. Makes about 10 pies, more or less, according to size.
