Minced Pie of Beef

Wonderfully Traditional. This is what you do with your leftover boiled dinner. Great for making in the fall and eating all winter. Amelia's recipe will make about eight pies. Mine will make about 2.

Four Pound boild beef, chopped fine; and salted; six pound of raw apple chopped also, one pound beef suet, one quart of Wine or rich sweet cyder, one ounce mace, and cinnamon, a nutmeg, two pounds raisins, bake in paste No. 3, three fourths of an hour. 

  •  Boiled Beef (naval beef or corned beef) 1 Pound
  •  Apples (cored and lightly peeled) 1 1/2 pounds
  • Lard (Yum!) 1/4 pound
  • Fresh Cider (or wine) 1/2 pint or 1/4 cup
  • Raisins 1/2 pound
  • Mace
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmef 
  • Paste No. 3
  1.  Chop your beef and apples and put them in a large bowl
  2. Add the remaining ingredients 
  3. Assemble in crust
  4. Bake 45 Min at 375 

Please tell me where to get some good Newfoundland naval beef (the kind that comes bone in, brined, in a big plastic bucket). I tried to take some on the airplane but they did not like that. Corned beef is just not the same!
