Home Made Mincemeat For Mince Pies Recipe

	Vivian / All my dishes 2 years, 1 month ago A home made mincemeat for your Christmas pies. This is a fruit mixture to make traditional Christmas mince pies. This does not actually have meat in it! I don't know if it is used in the US. As I think in the US you use meat in your Mincemeat. Prep:10m Servings:18	Vivian

Ingredients

4-oz (100 g) shredded suet

4 oz (100 g) raisins

2-oz (50 g) cut mixed candied peel

2-oz (50 g) walnuts, chopped

1 level teaspoon Mixed Spice (or 1/2 teaspoon each of cinnamon and nutmeg)

7/8 cup (200 g) 7 oz Demerara sugar

4-oz (100 g) sultanas

1 cup (100 g) 4 oz cooking (tart) apples

Brandy or rum to mix

Directions

Make the mincemeat at least two weeks before you intend to use it.

Mince together or finely chop the dried fruits, peeled and cored apples, and the nuts.

Add the sugar, spice and enough brandy or rum to give a moist mixture.

It should not be too wet; more spirits can always be stirred in before using if the mincemeat has been kept for rather a long time and dried up slightly.

Cover and leave to stand for 48 hours.

Stir well and put into jars. Cover and store for at least two weeks.

Absolutely love mincemeat pies and since living in England I look forward to them at the holiday season. I've wanted to try making my own so your recipe looks quite inviting. Thanks for posting.

My mom made her own mincemeat for many years, she would cook a pot roast or stew meat and then add all the fruit and booze. Amazingly versatile stuff. This looks easier than what she did, that is for sure.
