My family found mince meat pie to be strong.  This is a good solution to that and still serve the traditional pie.

1 jar mincemeat (1 pt.)
2 envelopes gelatin
1 c. cream, whipped
¼ c. rum or brandy
3 egg whites beaten

Soften gelatin in mincemeat and heat to dissolve. Cool and fold in cream, egg whites and rum.  Pour into cooked pie shell.
