From 1917: Mix together one cupful of grated brown breadcrumbs, half a cupful of cider vinegar, one cupful of cider, one cupful of chopped and seeded raisins, one cupful of molasses, half a teaspoonful of salt, one cupful of finely chopped apples, ground cinnamon and cloves to taste and one small cupful of grated maple sugar. Scald the ingredients, but do not boil. The mincemeat should be used within a few days, as this variety, although very good, does not keep as well as the more elaborate recipes.
