Yes True mincemeat is made with meat, most folks dont remember or have never tasted true mincemeat.  Itis a long process but the results are wonderful.  Always made in Fall, since it requires meat, usually butchered in the fall, apples, raisins (grapes yah know :) ), spices, wine or cider, and i dont remember whatelse, there is like 25 things in it, then you cook it to death and can it.  i dont have my grandmothers recipe for it anymore but would love to find one again.
