Which type of minced meat are we discussing? Are you referring to a sweet mince meat, as in a Christmas or other holiday pie? Or do you mean a minced beef or pork meat pie? Regardless of which one it is, we add Jim's smoked hab powder, or Calvin's chile blend to each or either! If I am doing a meat pie or meat loaf, then in goes the chiles, my own raw ones, as well as powder. If Marie is baking a pie,then a little Calvin's goes in as well.....MMMMM Apple pie,with Cheddar and Calvin's!!! Can't be beat!...Cheers, Doug in BC BK4Leg@aol.com wrote: > > Has anybody experimented with adding some heat to the usual minced pie ? > > I was thinking along the lines of some diced cayenne or serrano peppers, and > a sprinkling of chipotle powder. > > Might also be interesting to try something like that in dumplings or wonton > style pieces, instead of a large pie. > > Bernie
