MINCE MEAT.

One pound of granulated sugar, one pound of
raisins, one pound of currants, half a pound of citron,
half a dozen lemons, grated rind and juice, the pulp of
eight oranges, the grated rind of three, half a pound
of almonds blanched and chopped, three pounds of
greenings, after they are pared, cored and chopped
fine, three heaping teaspoorifuls of powdered cinna-
mon, an even teaspoonful of allspice, a quarter of a
teaspoonful of cloves, an even teaspoonful of salt,
three-quarters of a pound of butter melted, a cup and
a half of sherry and a cup of brandy. Seed the rai-
sins and soak them with the currants in just
water enough to cover, stew until tender, and
add when cold with the water to the other ingredi-
ents. Mix thoroughly, stirring in the melted butter
at the last. Let it stand for several days. The
brandy and wine may be omitted and more lemons
and oranges used to flavor it. At each baking it is
well to add a little sugar and chopped apple. This
will keep all winter or longer in a cool place, if the
brandy and wine are not omitted.
