Some contend that we should believe in divine election reluctantly, wishing that it were otherwise than what we find in Scripture. They argue that we should speak of it with sadness and regret, and talk about it only when pushed or coerced to do so. But there is something seriously wrong when we fail to rejoice in what pleases God. There is a grievous flaw in our thinking and in our affections when we are reluctant to speak about what God spoke so often of in Scripture.

INSTRUCTIONS

In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, combine cider, raisins, and currants. Cover
and
heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Add apples, caribou, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, salt,
nutmeg, and allspice. Simmer 2 hours longer. Add water as necessary to keep
mincemeat from sticking to saucepan. Cool mincemeat to room temperature,
add
the liquor and let sit at least overnight before making pies.
Mincemeat can be kept in a cool place in a stone crock for 2 weeks, canned
or
frozen. If frozen, thaw mincemeat before making pie.
Prepare pastry and refrigerate until ready to use-at least 30 minutes.
Heat oven
to 350'F. Divide pastry; roll out bottom crust and roll out and cut strips
for
a top lattice. Carefully spoon mincemeat into crust-lined pie plate. Place
pastry strips one at a time across mincemeat to create a woven  grid. Lift
edge
of bottom crust over ends of strips. Pinch together and flute edge. Bake
pie 50
to 55 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and filling bubbles. Cool
10
minutes on wire rack before cutting.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
