Mincemeat
 
I have been looking for jars of mincemeat to make mince pies. Do they sell it here? or am I just looking in the wrong aisle? :confused:

They sell it in Calgary.

In with pie fillings in the baking aisle...perhaps.

I have looked in the baking aisle, international foods and the jam section.

Superstore sell it in the baking isle...

It does tend to sell out fairly quickly though.

Safeway have it too. It says "with brandy" so it might be nice!!!

Yeah, try Superstore, that's where we got ours.
Hubbie has always hated mince pies, but likes them this year for the first time....and all because of President's Choice mincemeat!

My neighbour makes her own (using a more traditional recipe which includes deer meat). I ate a couple of slices of a mincemeat pie she made the other day and don't remember pausing to breathe. Very good stuff.

If anyone is interested, I could ask her for the recipe to post up here... just let me know :thumbup:
