mincemeat cake updating an old recipe
I have a family recipe for mincemeat cake using the condensed nonesuch mincemeat which is no longer available. The recipe calls on rehydrating the mincemeat with 5c coffee and shortening overnight. I was thinking of using jar mincemeat and using the liquid and coffee to get 5 cups total. Any suggestions on how to adapt?

* Nonesuch Classic Mincemeat (is this the condensed or a different one?) is yes available on Amazon Canada, but for a ridiculous price C90 (about US65).
U*se another tried and true mincemeat cake recipe. Three suggestions:
1) UK favorite from Mary Berry (long-time cookbook author and tv presenter, including on Great British Bake Off)
2) a USA recipe from reliable and popular allrecipescom site

3) well regarded loaf cake recipe with mincemeat as one of its variations

The Mary Berry recipe link is mistakenly placed second under #2 aUSA recipe. It is at something sweet something savoury site.
