I'm making mincemeat ahead of time for Christmas, and aim to be economical at the same time by using up anything like dried fruit, the odd carrot etc, that I have in the cupboard.
I know suet is one traditional ingredient, but I happen to have some good beef dripping from the last time I did a roast.
Can anyone tell me if that would do instead, or if not, why not?
Many thanks :-)

It will need refining to take the beefy flavour out and may not be successful as it has been heated with meat.
I don't think so. Suet is a solid fatty uncooked tissue, dripping is rendered fat after cooking. You would make dumplings with suet but not with dripping.
If you're Scottish, you could make stovies with the beef dripping.
No. Beef dripping is savoury and mince pies are sweet.
Originally mince pies were savoury.
