Mincemeat Gingerbread (recipe for both the jar mincemeat and the dry mincemeat)

Mincemeat Gingerbread is a combination of two intense flavors that go together delightfully!



After looking around on Twitter, other blogs, and especially knowing how my daughters and daughter in love feel about this wonderful ingredient, mincemeat, I did not know if I really wanted to post this recipe or not.

Bravery is the word for this blog post.

For one thing, there are really not very many mincemeat recipes posted on many blogs, but that doesn't mean that there are not some out there who like an excellent mincemeat recipe either.

So, I decided to post my Mincemeat Gingerbread recipe that I made this past weekend.

Please post a comment and/or email me and tell me what you think. Actually, if you do not like mincemeat and post a comment, that is also welcomed.

I would like to hear from you one way or the other.
