1 unbaked pie shell
1 c. sugar
2 tbsp. flour
1/8 tsp. salt
3 eggs
1/4 c. melted butter
1/2 c. chopped walnuts or pecans
1 c. mincemeat
1/4 c. raisins, optional

Mix all ingredients and place in pie shell. Bake at 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 325 degrees and bake for 30 minutes.

DIETITIAN'S NOTE:

Although mincemeat is made primarily from fruits, it is surprisingly high in sodium. Omit the 1/8 teaspoon salt, use 3/4 cup egg substitute, 2/3 cup sugar and 1/4 cup melted butter flavored butter. This recipe will still be packed with calories, fat and sodium so enjoy a small portion of this crunchy concoction bite by bite.
