I have never made a mincemeat pie before, as I am not a fan of the flavor, but this year it was my turn to make the desserts. My parents have always enjoyed mincemeat and since I was going to make the other pies from scratch I thought a store bought mincemeat just wouldn't do. After watching the episode, I figured that I would give this pie a second chance and see if it would be different than childhood memories stated.

The ingredients were very easy to find, the recipe easy to follow and everything went together smoothly. I did not have a food processor so had to cut everything by hand. I think the chunky texture added to the pie.

The crust was super easy to make and I have never had much luck with crusts so usually buy the premade. Not the case here.

It looked so good coming out of the oven that I even had to have a slice this Thanksgiving. My parents loved it and I even had seconds the next day. For anyone who has never tried mincemeat, or like me had less than favorable memories of the strong flavors, this is one recipe that is worth giving a second chance. I plan on making this more than once a year myself. Thank you Alton.
