Love the chicken in the window 😂😂😂❤

[@FloweryThoughts]

How much is that chicken in the window?

[@SargeOfTheGuard]

@@FloweryThoughts How much is that Chicken in the window, With the Basketball nose on its face, You know what a Basketball nose is, It dribbles all over the place! 🤣

[@C-TOS]

That chicken is Justine's sensei, she trained Justine in the culinary arts, and how to weaponize wooden spoons.

[@timeforchange3786]

So funny! She was like " My invitation must have gotten lost in the mail. Well, here I am!"

[@Tara4Truth291]

The cauldron is a phenomenal find . Congratulations . Enjoy it.

[@mommyseastar5776]

Your hen that made a special appearance, the one with the fluffy cheeks and scalloped feathers, is an Easter egger. She’s the one laying the beautiful bluish eggs. ❤

A neighbor of mine who was born in 1920 used to make and can her own mincemeat using venison. One day we were visiting her and she served the both of us a slice (I was 18 and he was 22). We were both too polite to say no and were very surprised that it was fantastic. The consistency was a bit like a pecan pie. Its the only time I ever ate it and never asked her what else she put in it, but kind of wish I would've. She passed away more than two decades ago. Rural life in Southern Oregon was special back in the early 70s. Love your channels. You two are so grounded and full of fun and facts. Blessings

[@ooohhitskaren63]

The chickens would love that pie. So its not a total loss.

[@maryathey280]

Current day minced meat pie is actually raisins, apples, figs, lemon peels and spices in it. The filler is actually cooked before it it used in a pie.

[@JuliannaMBlackburn]

This pie makes me think of Rachel’s trifle from Friends😂

[@angelas4681]

LOL! And Ron is Joey. "Raisins? Good. Apples? Good! Prechewed meat? Goooooood!"

[@GrandmatoRVSGCM]

When I was little, my great aunt Marie would make mincemeat pies with my grandmother for the holidays. I loved it, to me it tasted like a very flavorful apple pie. They had no actual meat in them. Apples, raisins, lemon and orange zest a dash of dark rum and so many wonderful spices! My stomach is growling thinking about it!

[@TLShoemaker]

Hi guys, kinda new to this commenting stuff, I am a neighbor over here in Lesterville, love your channel. And I truly understand your love for living in the woods, I myself live 5 miles down a dirt road on 20 acres in the middle of the woods and survive with just electric but still doing a lot of things the old fashion way. You both are inspirations to all. ❤

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

You guys are awesome! Thanks so much for the mentioning of The Woodland Escape. Would love to collaborate with you on a joint endeavour.

[@courtneyallen9863]

Mincemeat pie is very popular in South Central Pennsylvania. I love it served hot with vanilla bean ice cream.

[@jinaburris334]

Great chew and chat. Your cabin looks so cozy.

[@robdixon7732]

Sad to say I'm working in Cali this week so I'll miss the livestream. Hope everyone is doing well. Catch you next week!

[@mkhbragg]

I was born and raised in New England. Mincemeat pie was traditionally served every Thanksgiving and Christmas. My Auntie Adeline’s mincemeat pie was the best! She substituted walnut meats for beef and it was so delicious. Best holiday treat memories ever!

[@femalism1715]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE mincemeat pie made the French Canadian/Metis way. In my family we call it Réveillon pie. It's made with minced wild game, usually venison or lamb or beef (for the city folk), rum, cider, molasses sugar, candied peel, and candied ginger plus apples, currents, raisins and all the usual spices.

[@sensitivecuriosity5054]

Wow, grew up Canadian mom love tourtiere and croutons, but never had that one.

[@southernsass5523]

The cauldron on the bottom has what they call a gatemark, the remaining "scar" from the mold

[@jeanineruby]

One year dad got a huge deer. Mom canned the meat and for several Christmas' we had the most delicious mince meat pie you can imagine. She also made great sausages from the venison.

[@margui6224]

So cute the hens were in the window, posibly looking for her eggs. The mincemeat pie looks interesting. I've never taste it. Nice to see the historical shoes. Historical facts: Benjamín Franklin 's library. I though the quote "No game, no pain was from a movie, but it was from Benjamín Franklin. It should be included on the Citizenship exam. Thank you, Ron and Justine.

[@sandrarennie2585]

Looking forward to seeing you both My favourite day of the week 🙏🙏🙏❤

[@rlrl1188]

Love your little visitor's ❣️💯🐓🐔

[@pinkroses135]

Gotta love Missouri 😂 It has made for beautiful foliage this year. I'm used to seeing orangey brown leaves on my oaks but this season has brought a lot of red and yellow.

[@christywerpy63]

Oh, I'm so excited to see Ron's video on his receipt he's making for Justine. It should be a hoot!

[@lucretciaseven4873]

I'm a Virginian and growing up we traditionally had mincemeat pie for Thanksgiving and Christmas and sometimes it had beef and sometimes not. However, the ones that had beef you could not separate the beef taste out from the rest of the overall flavor and it always had a very sugary thick dark brown syrupy binder.

[@carolm3468]

Congratulations on your recent purchases! All are fabulous! In and Out Burger and Chic Fil A are always packed with lines of cars!!!!!

[@glennda1939]

So happy y'all have been so richly blessed. Glad for y'all to have my share of the mincemeat pie

[@AllenMZim]

Oh goodie, I personally LOVE meat pies! Almost as much as I live fruit pies! Hopefully camping out in a urine-soaked tent was more enjoyable for you both than it sounds! Can't wait to catch the premiere in a few hours! Cheers, all! 😃

[@EarlyAmerican]

Well this has both meat and fruit so you're in luck. Two for the price of one!

[@AllenMZim]

@@EarlyAmerican Really?! Both?! Oh man, am I excited to see this! Thanks, Justine! 😃

[@angella9954]

You also need to set up a wedding registry so we can spoil you guys

[@MrsBrit1]

This is an original version of mince pie. Modern ones are all fruit with some suet (both animal and vegetarian options of suet are used), spices, sugar, etc, but the original ones were actually meat, as seen here, mixed with fruit. It's definitely......different for a modern palate.

[@fahinahigby1152]

I love mincemeat pie! I Look forward to the holidays to eat mincemeat pie. Yum!! But the modern kind! Not the kind you made 😂

[@KAT-KIT]

I just read that we DID break the record. I am so ready for real fall temps in Missouri.

[@PlanetaryThoughts9861]

I like the gourd full of lumps n bumps! It probably tastes good inside!

[@kimholcomb6943]

My grandma made mincemeat pie during Thanksgiving. It is an acquired taste. I like them now.

[@CMcKinnon1013]

Lol, I like how Ron explained the taste lol

[@susiejones4610]

Haha your chickens want their eggs back. Just kidding. I think they’re adorable to hang out on the window like that. I love the chat portion of these videos! Great job guys

[@jennyelliottbrown6680]

The ancient forerunner of our UK modern " mince pies" which we traditionally eat at christmas. Ingredients quite similar...extract the meat... keep the apple,spices, suet...increase the fruit...add a dash of brandy. Available in supermarkets from now in boxes of 6 individual ( sweet) mince pies. Xxx very brave of you to try this unusual piexx

[@marilynrowland5197]

My mother-in-law made mincemeat in large quantities, then sent it to family members through the mail. I cannot remember how it was packaged, but it arrived in good shape. I made two pies, they were absolutely delicious! The recipe was much more complex than the one you used, and had lots of ingredients. The bottom line is this: with a good recipe, developed somewhat later, perhaps, than your 1796 recipe, mincemeat pie can be sensational!

[@krism.9363]

Another great show! Love seeing the chickies in the window. ❤

[@maryomen3841]

I need Ron to take me shopping sometime! 😂 I am extremely envious of your cauldron Justine! 😊😅

[@eileenmorris-duke6040]

I would love to see you make candles with your new molds.

[@cherylbishop7657]

I love mincemeat pie ,my mom was a fantastic cooks. I still make them. GOD BLESS

Great cauldron! My in-laws lived in Pocasset, it's pronounced POE-KASS-IT. ❤

[@thegreenhorncamper1971]

Steven's a great guy, I bought my buckle shoes from him.

[@foxawaycottage7272]

My grandmother told me that mincemeat disguised beef that was a bit 'off'. We thoroughly enjoy mincement pie at Thanksgiving and/or Christmas. Blessings to you both.

[@safffff1000]

My mom's pie had a lot less beef

[@francyfey4646]

So funny. On Saturday, we celebrated the St. martin‘s day here in Germany. Traditionally, we roast a goose (like a turkey on Thanksgiving), and the stuffing is traditionally made with apples, raisins, onion and chopped up white bread. We eat it with cooked red cabbage (with lots of Christmas-y spices like nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger and a dash of apple cider vinegar). We love it 😂 it‘s a bit like this dish, just with goose instead of minced beef.

[@lindareinking5326]

Can't wait for Ron Ron to make his dish. Great video as always ❤❤❤

[@katepierson851]

I made a slightly different version of your cold cream. I have to say it’s one of The best things I have done for my skin. My skin is healthier and less greasy. My skin seems to heal faster too. Thank you for history and entertainment 👏👏👏

[@JayCee_64]

I'm glad we're not the only ones experiencing weather anomalies. It's been in the 80s here in Kentucky as well. Thanks for all you do. Love your channel.❤

[@mademoiselle_Claudele]

I live in the province of Quebec, Canada and my grandmother makes mincemeat! It is an unusual recipe to make for a French-speaking family, but it was passed down from my great-grandmother, who worked as a cook in a inn run by people from British descent in her youth. It definitely is an acquired taste, since most people who don't share our last name find it weird 😂 I’m so glad you talked about this dish!

[@jaytarr815]

This is one of the few things you have made that I have no desire to try, especially after Ron basically says “This is not good but I am going to eat it anyway” 😂

[@donnajenkins4721]

Great score!!! Love the cauldron

[@GrandmatoRVSGCM]

I love that cauldron! How amazing!

[@jelsner5077]

My grandmother made mince pie now and then, usually for Christmas, it didn't have meat in it though. Only my dad and I liked it. I had six siblings so it just meant more for me and dad!

[@nancysattictreasures2778]

I LOVE your channels! You found some great stuff at the reenactment. Can't wait to see what the first thing you're going to make in the cauldron. Ron, see you Friday!!

[@alangknowles]

We still add raisins (or other fruit like mango) to curries today. So perhaps the tradition continues.

[@lisabarrick4819]

When I was younger my mom made us this. I loved it. I didn’t know what was in it, but I loved it.

[@annarussell3751]

We use mincemeat from a jar or from a box that is somewhat dry. It’s not really meaty. Yes, they use (beef) suet instead of meat. My grandma always made a mincemeat pie for Thanksgiving. I used to make a pie for my father in law when he was alive. I’ll probably make one for my Dad this year. My grandma also made some delicious cookies from the dry box of mincemeat.

[@pamelakern2849]

Looking forward to seeing the pie !! Justine has so many unique and fascinating recipes. 😊😊

[@lisabarrick4819]

🤣😂 Ron is so funny. I knew he would get more even though he didn’t like it. 🤣😂 Justine, your reaction cracked me up. 😂😂😂

[@nahkohese555]

I have a receipt I found in an old book that is very similar to yours, except instead of beef it calls for salt pork. That variation is very tasty. Naturally you have to boil your salt pork first to get rid of the salt. I don't recall it having suet though.

[@gnorman8852]

I love what they've done with Fort de Chartres! Sadly, right after its first renovation it was flooded, I think in the 1993 floods. But I went back a few years later & they did an amazing job cleaning up everything again. I'm so glad they are adding more features, activities & keeping it a living history. Love your channels -- invaluable information to learn ways we might want to take advantage of again!

[@Cerulean0987]

Mincemeat pie is absolutely delicious. Christmas personified.

Woot woot love your finds what a blessing and price was a good sticker shock! Lol love the chicken visit! Our grand kids live in Mo were in Mi, it’s currently 38 right now wood cookstove is fired up and it was snowing earlier. Have a great week!

[@carolynking3318]

My mother made mince meat pies every thanksgiving! I live in Alabama.

[@lafranglaise3399]

Here in France I've also tried to get real suet direct from the butcher's but most get the carcasses of meat from a centralised slaughter house & the kidney fat is removed. It's frustrating as suet is in fact very good for you (on a keto/paleo diet). Looking forward to seeing Ron's effort on Friday. God bless you both xxxx

[@susanwarren398]

Love the cauldron. Nice find

[@atinyblackcat]

In history, mincemeat pie was often fixed with ingredients that were easy to find in your area. It wasn't necessarily meant to be a delicious meal, rather a more all-in-one, hearty type meal that fed the entire family. Despite the prep and cook time, it was also often thought of as an "easy to make" type meal.

[@rosemaryracine5476]

I was not a big fan of mincemeat either but with a drizzle of rum sauce I wouldn’t mind it at all 😊. I never miss an episode of your entertaining and educational show. Thank you.

[@mercyantony3322]

I love the way you guys cook ♥️♥️

[@AP-pl5rv]

I'm a direct Mayflower descendant, 9th great granddaughter of Samuel Fuller. I love that you mentioned the Pilgrims! I'm also a cousin of Benjamin Franklin, he's my first cousin 8x removed and I knew he'd opened he first library but I had no idea they'd torn it down. Makes me sad. He was a fascinating man. Love your channel and I too have made mincemeat but not this kind. I'm glad you guys tried it though. Never know till you try!

[@jimcheese5534]

you're awesome, thank you for what you do.

[@MsKatherineJo]

The cauldron!! Wow. Beautiful.

[@DingbadYoutube]

If you cook everything together before baking it changes the taste and texture. Sometimes we added orange. Easter eggs.

[@Ivens2911]

This is awesome! I love your content! My grandmother made minced meat pie. I don't remember it having meat in it and I wouldn't have known about the suet as a child eating it. I only remember preferring pecan pie. The story of your trip was great and the description of all your wares. I have enjoyed watching the progress of your home as well and am so thankful you pray for the food and for us. God bless you!

[@lindareinking5326]

Looking forward to it. Much love ❤

My Mom used to make mincemeat pie! Her and Dad loved it. She used beef, I believe. I tried it when I was young and couldn’t get passed the meat being in a pie with raisins and other sweets. I wish Mom was here to make it again so I could have another try at it! I bet I would love it!

That probably would've been made better with a good bit of onions caramelized in the suet with a little shopped garlic, tasty even with the apples and raisins!

[@lesterstone8595]

I would substitute potatoes for the apples, mushrooms or carrots for the raisins, and beef broth mixed with a little flour for the hard cider. I would replace the spices with salt, pepper, and maybe some pearl onions.

[@beth12svist]

And you would turn a mincemeat pie into a non-mincemeat meat pie. 😅

I’ve always wondered what was in a mincemeat pie. If I see one for sale somewhere, I think I’ll try it just to see. Thanks for the fun videos! The chickens are a nice touch. I had a couple pet ones when I was a kid , so they’re kind of special to me seeing them on your vid. Thanks again!

[@lavoixdevelours]

These always remind me of Victorian Christmas even though they're a much older recipe.

[@countrygirl7402]

Mincemeat is a different thing in my world than this recipe. Now we were farmers. So the mincemeat we made ourselves. This was just too plain I think. It needed more spices and the meat needed more seasoning to make it good. Everything needed minced smaller as well. The meat was minced pretty well but the apples were to big. My grandmother always used spiced apple butter in her mincemeat pies. But you either love it or hate it. There's no middle ground. I loved grandma's. Her recipe I could not tell you. She didn't have a written recipe.

[@ellenabendroth9027]

I LOVE mincemeat pie!! I've not had homemade since before my grandma died. I've made the kind with the jarred mincemeat from the store. Will definitely try this recipe!!!!!
