Best Venison Mincemeat Pie Recipes
VENISON MINCEMEAT
Aunt Jewel was a reknown woodscook in the Patten, Maine lumber camps back in the 40's. This is her recipe. This mincemeat is very rich but not too sweet. (You may add a 1/2 c. of water to each pint for a juicier pie.) Processed this will keep for 2+ years. This make ten pints or 10 frozen pies.

VENISON MINCEMEAT
If you are lucky enough to get some venison, this sounds like an interesting item for holiday baskets or to make into pies. You have to make this a month ahead of time (not in prep time) for it to set properly but it can be stored indefinitely. Recipe source: Coyote Cafe

Steps:
- Grind venison through the medium plate of a meat grinder.
- Grind suet through the fine plate of the meat grinder (you may need to grind the suet twice--there can be no smell of blood on it or it will spoil the mincemeat.).
- Peel and core the apples and chop them in a food processor.
- Place the ground meat and the apples in a large bowl and then mix in the rest of the ingredients, blending well.
- Pack mincemeat into a nonreactive container (such a glazed earthenware) and then cover container with a clean tea towel soaked in rum and then cover with plastic wrap or a lid.
- Store in refrigerator for a least a month to bind flavors together.
- The mincemeat will continue to develop for another 4 months or so and can then be stored indefinitely.
- This amount will make 3 pies. To make pies: prepare pie pastry (two crust pie), lining pie dishes with pastry. Pour filling into prepared pie dishes and cover with top crusts. Blend one egg and 1 tablespoon water and brush top crusts with egg wash. Cut vent holes in top crust. Bake pies at 350-degrees for 40-45 minutes our until golden brown.

MAINE VENISON MINCEMEAT
Venison mincemeat is an old Maine tradition. The deer neck is normally used, but any scrap bones can provide the boiled meat. Moose or Beef also makes good mincemeat if venison is not available.

Steps:
- Boil the deer neck in enough water to keep it covered, for 4 hours or until the bones come out clean.
- Whilst the neck is boiling, peel, core and chop the apples.
- Let pot of meat cool overnight.
- Grind the meat, and 1 cup solid suet that forms on top, through a fine plate, quarter and grind the lemon and orange (peel and all)
- Combine everything except 1 pt of cider in a large pot.
- Simmer over very low heat, stirring with care not to burn on. I cook mine on a wood cook stove. A hot top also works well.
- Adjust the consistency with the cider, depending on how much juice the apples produce.
- Simmer for 45 minutes or so, until the mixture is bubbling, but apples are still mostly whole.
- Add brandy to taste.
- Pack into quart mason jars hot, or plastic containers cool and freeze for pies.

Steps:
- 1. Pre Heat oven to 350'F 9-inch pie plate
- 2. At least 4 hours before making pie, prepare the mincemeat: In a large pot, combine meat, and cider, raisins, and cherries or currants (prefer currants), and spices.
- 3. Cover and heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 4. (Mincemeat can be made up to 3 months ahead and frozen. If frozen, thaw mincemeat before making pie or baking time will be lengthened, or canned.)
- 5. Meanwhile, prepare pastry and refrigerate until ready to use-at least 30 minutes.
- 6. Meanwhile, prepare pastry and refrigerate until ready to use-at least 30 minutes. Divide pastry into 3 equal pieces. Press 2 pieces together and shape into a ball. Between 2 sheets of waxed paper, roll out ball of pastry into an 11 -inch round. Remove top sheet of paper and invert pastry into 9-inch pie plate, letting excess extend over edge. Remove bottom sheet of paper. Between sheets of waxed paper, roll out remaining pastry to a 9 1/2- by 6-inch rectangle. Remove top sheet of paper from pastry. Cut rectangle into four 9 1/2- by 1 1/2-inch strips. Carefully spoon mincemeat into crust-lined pie plate. Remove pastry strips from waxed paper, one at a time, and place across mincemeat to create spokes. All four strips will overlap in the center. Lift edge of bottom crust over ends of strips. Pinch together and flute edge. Place pie on rimmed baking sheet. Bake pie 50 to 55 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and filling bubbles. Cool 10 minutes on wire rack before cutting.
