NOTES : Fill your kitchen with the ultimate of holiday aromas - mincemeat. Traditionally used as a filling for pies, tarts, and cookies, mincemeat jazzes up this spiced oat bread. DID YOU KNOW? Despite its name, mincemeat is most often meat-free. But this wasnt always true. Originally, beef suet and ground meat were part of the recipe, devised as a way to preserve meat. Now the combination of ingredients is usually chopped apples, raisins, spices and sometimes rum or brandy.
