Originally, mincemeat was used as a way of preserving meat without salting or smoking. Bakers then used the filling to make mince pies from scratch. They became a special part of holiday dinners and became a popular part of holiday dinners. In some families, mincemeat pies still have a spot at the holiday dinner table today. Most modern recipes call for fruit, with occasionaly adding liquor as an added ingredient.

You may have heard stories about mincemeat pie from your grandparents, aunts, and uncles, or even read about it in a book. However, if you've never had the opportunity to try one, National Mincemeat Day would be the day to do so..
