I suspect that this is the variety of mince that you refer to, I have never seen a storebought variety that actually contains meat
My mom always made mincemeat pies for Thanksgiving. She also used a "brick" of filling that came in a box. She soaked it in water and made her own crust, filled it and baked.
I have lost my taste for that filling and prefer apple.
Thanks for the memory
