Originally, mincemeat was used as a way to preserve meat without salting or smoking. The filling was then used to make mince pies by Bakers. They became a special part of holiday dinners and became a popular part of holiday dinners. Today's holiday dinner table finds mincemeat pies in several households. Many modern recipes call for fruit, with liquor often as an added ingredient.

You may have heard tales about mincemeat pie from your grandparents, aunts, and uncles, or even read about it in a book. However, if you've never had the opportunity to try one, National Mincemeat Day would be the day to do so.
