Hi Sherry,
Glad you like the site. :-)
Let's see... I could not find any recipes that used a bundt pan; I could not
find any recipes that used jiffy mix; I could not find any recipes that
called for Nonesuch mincemeat by name.
I did however, find a recipe that used Bisquick and canned ( or rather
jarred.) mincemeat. See below.

Mix well. Bake at 325 degrees until done (possibly 1 1/2 hours).
