Modern mincemeat does not usually contain meat and is made with things like
green tomatoes. The lack of meat in mincemeat is definitely a modern concept.
One of the worst inovations I can think of. Our family also used meat in the
mincemeat (e.g. ground beef to be exact). Grandma used to add a meatball in
the top of each jar before she sealed it so us kid's would have something to
'fight over' when she opened the jar later on. :-)
Although I am unaware of any recipes from the middle ages that are
specifically named 'mincemeat'in the manuscripts, you will find not a few
combinations of fruit/meat mixtures that are , for all intent and purposes,
mincemeat in flavor and form. So far as a recipe goes...I think the Tartys in
Applis was enough work for one weekend. :-) Perhaps there are others on the
list who have researched and experimented in this area who would be willing to
share their results.
