I made some mincemeat pie for Thanksgiving and am slightly ashamed to say I made it from jarred mincemeat.
They had it at Safeway, which is a huge chain. BUT, I had to enlist the help of a seasoned employee named Michael, who I've learned knows how to find everything in the store, no matter how obscure. He had to get down on his hands and knees in the baking aisle and peer into the depths of the lower shelf to find it.
