Mince Pies.-Christma is rapidly

Mince Pies-Christmas is rapidly ap-
preaching and mince pies will soon be in de-
mand. The following is given as first-class
recipe for making the same:
Two pounds of lean roast or boiled beef,
pounds of suet, pounds of apples, 2
pounds of currents, 2 pounds of seedess raj
sins, 2 pounds of brown sugar, one pound of
candied citron; 2 ounces of ground spices
mace, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves, or 2
cans of Bartlett pears, with the juice, 2
pound of preserved ginger, 10 oranges.
juice and grated rind, pint of rum, pint
of brandy, pint of port wine. Chop all the
ingredients small. Don't grind them in
machine. Then mix everything together
the dry articles first, and the liquids poured
over them. Put the mine: meat in jars,
cover close, and let stand week or two be-
fore using. When preserved ginger cannot
be had, boil half pound of common race
ginger in syrup made with 2 pounds of
sugar in two quarts of water, when boiled
down TO one quart, put the syrup in the
mince meat, and further extract the ginger
flavor by pouring the port wine upon it and
making warm. This ginger is not to be
used in the mince meat, only its extracted
favor. When the oranges furnished are
ripe and then skinned it is better to chop
half Of them after squeezing and add them
to the mince instead of only grating Crate
the rest and use juice of all after excluding
the seeds.
