When I was a small child, I remember my grandmother spending hours in her kitchen baking up some mincemeat bread. During the holiday season, she used to make several loafs and give them away to her neighbors.
This recipe calls for 1 cup of mincemeat. If you are not familiar with what that is, it's a combination of minced meat, dried fruit, spices and sometimes distilled liquor. If you are vegetarian, you can purchase meat-free mincemeat at your local grocery store.
If you would like to make up a few loafs ahead of time, you can certainly freeze them. You should wrap the completely cooled loaves in plastic wrap and then a layer of aluminum foil. They will keep for up to 3 months in your freezer.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup applesauce
1 cup moist mincemeat
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and brown sugar until fluffy and creamy. Stir in the eggs and beat until smooth. In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt and the spices. Add flour mixture alternately with the applesauce mixture, mixing well after each addition. Carefully fold in the mincemeat.
Pour the bread batter into a well-greased loaf pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until it tests done. Remove from oven and let it cool for 20 minutes in the pan. Remove from pan and let cool on a wire rack.
