Basic Homemade Mincemeat Pie

Ingredients

• You will need 4 cup homemade mincemeat for a 9" pie. Dot the filling
• with 1 Tbsp. butter, adjust top crust, cut vents and flute edges.
• Brush top with light cream, if desired. (It's a good idea to cover
• pie edges with 1 1/2" strip of aluminum foil the first half hour
• of baking to prevent excessive browning.) Bake in hot oven (425'F.)
• 40 to 45 minutes, or until pastry is golden. Partially cool on rack
• before serving.
