My Own Mincemeat Pie Filling
I have used many different mincemeat recipes and created my own mincemeat pie filling, using the most delicious and inexpensive combinations (but really, this recipe is very traditional). You may devise whatever combinations are convenient and affordable for you. Throw in whatever's in season, leftovers you have (cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving, oatmeal from breakfast, old bread, etc.). Mincemeat will take anything, it seems, and still tastes the same—exquisite! So, for Heaven's sake, make whatever changes are thrifty for you, but you may keep the quantities about the same.
Guinness Corned Beef
This Guinness corned beef with brown sugar is perfect for a St. Patrick's Day feast. I discovered it while attending an Irish Rovers concert. My family and friends insist it is a staple at get-togethers any time of the year. Braise this corned beef slowly at a low setting for melt-in-your-mouth delight. The aroma is fantastic!
