About National Mincemeat Day
Alcohol Tobacco & Drugs , United States
Ends: Oct 26, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
National Mincemeat Day celebrates mincemeat, a mixture of finely chopped dried fruit, distilled spirits, spices, and sometimes suet (hard fat from beef, lamb, or venison). Alcohol and spices preserve the mincemeat, allowing the harvest to be stored and consumed for up to a decade.
During Prohibition, in October 1922, the Old Victory Distillery in Chicago was able to get an exemption to the liquor laws for culinary arts. Mincemeat pies were one of the foods consumed to circumvent the Volstead Act by savvy gourmets, and they helped keep distilleries in business.
Mincemeat originated in Palestine, and the spices used came to Europe during the Crusades. It is a spicy, sweet, and savory filling, customarily baked in a pastry and served for dinner or after the main course. Around the late 1700s, it became associated with the holiday season.
In the United States, pumpkin, pecan, and mincemeat pies are associated with either Thanksgiving or Christmas. Today's mincemeat may or may not include suet, created instead from finely chopped dried fruits, nuts, and spirits.
