Now I know that Mincemeat will divide even a very close and loving family. But give me a mincemeat pie any day! And I am happiest when no one else wants any and there are leftovers, especially for breakfast. However, this little jewel will not be served here.....but I do share the introduction as written.
"Unusually sweet for a gelatin salad, this mincemeat ring is very good
with cold sliced ham or turkey."
Mincemeat Salad Ring
not made from:
Sunset Salad Book
1 envelope (1 T) unflavored gealtin
1/4 c cold water
1 package (9oz) dry mincemeat
2 c chilled ginger ale
1/4 c lemon juice
1/3 c chopped nut meats
Sour cream or Whipped cream
grated lemon peel
Sprinkle gelatin into cold water, let stand 5 minutes. Break up mincemeat into saucepan, and add 1 cup of the ginger ale. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; boil 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the gelatin mixture, lemon juice and nut meats; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Cool. Stir in remaining 1 c ginger ale. Turn into a 1 1/2 quart ring mold, chill at least 2 hours. To serve, unmold and top with sour cream or whipped cream sprinkled with a little grated lemon peel.
Serves 8
Wandering will lead us to a more spring time setting, at least in the food department. Usually about this time of year, most folks yearn for spring. Here are some lighter meal ideas, and a couple of portable snacks for those walks and outings that are on their way!
This tomato tart is a must try, bright, delicious and fresh, just what we all need to start the spring journey.

Shrimp has been everywhere this past couple of weeks, and as much as I love shrimp, it is the salad in this link that caught my eye.

You know I always look forward to WWANE Wednesdays. Again, you do not disappoint. I have never liked any kind of jello salad or salad served in a ring shape.
Ate mincemeat pie when a was a child but not since then. Not sure if I liked it or was just told to eat it or else.
I cannot imagine eating this with cold sliced ham or turkey! Gelatin salad? Sounds weird! This is a good find, Melynda!
Thank you for putting up the link to my refreshing apple drink! Hugs!
Good morning Melynda! I'm thinking even the whipped cream can't save that salad ring. Thanks so much for the shout-out! I hope you get a chance to make the tart, it really is SO good. Have a great day1
Ick! I definitely wouldn't want to eat that meat salad. You have featured so many great links on your wandering. I am off the check them out :)
Thanks for linking to my bars. Have a great Wednesday.
Thanks for the mention! I don't even know what mincemeat is.
Melynda, thank you so much for featuring my recipe.
This is one salad I WILL NOT be eating ever.I am not a fan of mincemeat to begin with, but the rest of it all together sounds just wrong.
My mom always told me that the commercial pre-packaged mincemeat wasn't nearly as good as the "real" homemade stuff.
The thought of mincemeat doesn't bother me, but I just never developed a taste for it.
weird. totally weird.
A package of "dry" mincemeat. What the heck is that? Thanks for the shout out!
never liked mince meat...no matter how I tried oh well thats what makes the world go round~
Oh I love a good mince pie too, but I think this salad ring would definitely be beyond the scope of my palate.
Sue :-)
I'm going to NOT eat that too! ;-)
This strange recipe has got to be from the sixties. I had a cookbook that was from the sixties, and since then, I got rid of it because of all the strange aspic recipes...but this tops all of them. No thank you.
BTW-as I was strolling down the list I found my name linked and mentioned.
So sweet of you, Melynda, I can't thank you enough.
Have a wonderful Sunday, my friend!
