CANNED MINCE MEAT

Once properly sealed and processed, canned mincemeat can be stored for up to 12 months in a cool, dark place (ideally 50-70°F). Each quart jar contains enough filling for two 9-inch pies. Once opened, transfer unused portion to the refrigeator and use within 2 weeks.

Store sealed jars in a cool (50-70°F), dark place such as a basement or pantry for up to 1 year. Avoid temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight which can compromise the seal and degrade quality. Check seals before using—lids should be concave and not flex when pressed. Discard any jars with bulging lids, broken seals, off-odors, or mold. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 2 weeks.
