What do you mean prepared mincemeat pie filling? 1jar?
I don’t understand, 1jar prepared mincemeat? Won’t that have meat in it?
Hi Dianne, I used an (18 oz.) jar of prepared mincemeat. It contained apples, raisins, currants, dried fruit, and spices. It didn’t have meat in it. You should be able to find it at your local supermarket. I live in Washington state and found it at QFC. I hope that helps. ~ Dusty
It used to, I’m sure it still does, but nowadays, it’s usually made with fruit and spices. 🙂
Thanks I had the same question.
