My husband's Grandma Skinner used to help make this with the ladies at the Methodist church, and they would sell it every fall. I don't know how old this recipe is, but we used to buy it in the 1960's, and they had been making it a lot of years before that. Makes a lot, so you may need to can the rest. Don't know how it would freeze. I vacuum seal things, and to make a pie and freeze it would probably be fine.

How to Make Old Fashioned Mince Meat
- Mix together the apples, beef, currants, raisins, brown sugar and vinegar. Add the spices and mix. Ready for pie after it has seasoned overnight in a covered crock, or large covered bowl, in a cool place (I suggest the frig) and use or immediately can.
- One quart jar makes a very generous pie. Needs top and bottom crusts.
