I've never had homemade mincemeat, so that may be a different taste, but really like the jarred mincemeat pie filling! It's awfully sweet, though, so I like to add one granny smith apple and a little rum! :D ;) This recipe makes cute little mini "pies" and everyone always asks what's in them? They are always surprised to know! :D And always ask for the recipe. It's simple and easy and a nice change from the usual! Enjoy, and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! :D (photo from bing images)

    *If using store-bought pie pastry, you may need to roll each sheet thinner to have enough. They make them too thick anyways. Homemade is best, though.
