A friend gave me this recipe for mincemeat many years ago. It is so good that even those who do not care for mincemeat pie likes it. If preferred, use molasses instead of sorghum. Also, apricot juice can be substituted for the pineapple juice. This makes enough filling for 2 (9 inch) pies.
Original recipe makes 16 servings

1 1/2 cups diced cooked beef
4 cups chopped apples
1 1/2 cups raisins
