What else can I do with jarred mincemeat pie filling?

[Anonymous]

The weather got to me and I made a mincemeat pie, but there's still a half jar of the stuff. I'm the only person who likes it so making a second pie is not among my options. Before I trash it, what can I do with it that would be worthwhile saving?

TIA.

Am I right that that's a fruity type thing? How about adding it as a topping to vanilla icecream? Or yogurt or breakfast?

Yes, it is apples and raisins with spices and rum. Actually that would be nice with plain Greek yogurt. Thanks!

Can you also just freeze it in a ziplock bag in case you want a mincemeat pie again in a couple of months?

PP again. You can also make apple pie and add a little to the apples when sautéing them in the butter for more flavor.
I think there was an episode of the Splendid Table radio show where someone called in an asked what to do with leftover mincemeat and she had fun suggestions.

Mincemeat, like fruit cake, isn't tasty.

Thanks. I will also see if that episode is archived.

Make a crumble like apple crumble only with mincemeat.

Make and freeze mince pies. Pull them out at Christmas.

I like it in crumb bars. I cut it with apple butter and the two tastes together against the bland background of butter/flour really works.

serve with pork chops or roasted pork (on top of or as a side)

Nigella has a recipe for something called mincemeat parcels with bourbon butter....Google it and you'll see it. Looks good, and I am not a mincemeat fan!
