I used to know this. Let me go look at my package of Nonesuch....
BTW, it is, miraculously, 9 ounces!!!! Well, to reconstitute
the dried you add 3 cups of water and boil for 1 minutes. To
complicate things, while that is the ratio for pie, the package
also says as a sub for ready-to-use mincemeat, you use 3/4 c
water, and the yield will be 1 1/2 cups of mincemeat. Maybe you
can work backward from there? Of course, for recipes that don't
require water or other liquid, you are probably out of luck!

Between you and Wayne, it sounds like I should type them all up.
Okay. I'll start (and maybe finish) today.
