Steps:
- 1. To braise the beef: Put a beef roast in a Dutch oven with a quart of water, cover, and roast at 350 degrees for 3 hours. Cool, trim fat, and mince enough beef for 2 cups. (Plan to have enough braised beef left over for dinner!)
- 2. Add the prepared beef and all the other ingredients to a large pot.
- 3. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 4. Allow to cool and refrigerate.
- 5. Note: Substitute 2 Tablespoons frozen lemonade concentrate or juice of 1/2 lemon and 2 teaspoons of sugar for the powdered lemonade mix.
- 6. Use the mincemeat to make two-crust pies. It can be frozen and used as desired. Remember to refrigerate the final product: it has meat in it!
- 7. Use 4 cups mincemeat to make a 9" pie. Bake at 425 degrees or until pastry is golden. Cool partially on a wire rack before serving.
