"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
Nanny got this from the box of None Such mincemeat "Prize Cookie" recipe. She added vanilla and lots of extra homemade love when she made these. Of course, keeping them in the old cat cookie jar added something special, too. Considering it was always full, she must have made countless dozens over the years.

I still have and use the small gray melamine bowl she used when making these.
