Mincemeat is a combination of apples, raisins and citrus peel, blended with sugar and spices to make a delicious cooking and baking ingredient. Mincemeat is derived from old English recipes, and today remains one of the most popular holiday foods in England.

The recorded history of mincemeat can be traced to the year 1413, when it was served at the coronation of Henry V of England. In the late 1600’s, mincemeat was served as a meat pie flavored with fruit and spices. These pies, with more fruits and spices and less meat, were served as desserts when mincemeat was brought to Colonial America.

Ready-to-use mincemeat, first offered in wooden buckets and crates, is one of the oldest American convenience foods. Mincemeat has been steadily marketed in the U.S. for more than 100 years. Even early American cooks did not want to spend the time and effort required to make mincemeat at home.

Condensed mincemeat was first developed in 1878 with the discovery that proper drying of mincemeat resulted in a product that could be used year-round. The Merrell-Soule Company, manufacturer and distributor of canned goods, successfully introduced condensed mincemeat under the None Such brand name for Borden. Merrell-Soule Company was purchased by Borden in the late 1920’s. Today we are proudly independent working on continuing to grow through None Such Foods to bring you and your family more great products.
