                        More brandy

I expect each and every one of you to make this. Actually my friend
Betty did and this is the recipe she used from Joy Of Cooking. It is
delicious...

Cook the ingredients slowly for 2 hours. Prepare your favorite pie
shells (for 2 crust pie) and heap with mincemeat; flavor with more
brandy of course and bake at 450°F for about 30 minutes.

Note:

I set the ingredients for 20 pies, but you can reformat for 1 pie.
