This Mincemeat Recipe is a sweet mixture of minced fruits and spices, specifically used and enjoyed at Christmas time and traditionally in mince cookies or pies. A melody of dried fruits in a rich brandy that I advise ensuring enough time to allow the fruit to soak up the liquor. The same ingredients can be used for cakes, pies and puddings.
Christmas would not be Christmas without feasting on treats made from mince meat.
To make Mincemeat Recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine cloves, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice together. Reserve 1 heaped teaspoon to add to the mincemeat and store the rest in a small jar for future use.
In a saucepan over low heat, combine and cook the dried fruit, diced apple, butter and sugar, gently stirring until the butter has melted.
Add chopped almonds, cinnamon, homemade mixed spice and grated orange rind and mix to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to cool before adding the brandy. Stir through.
Use immediately in mince cookies or pies.
Spoon into sterilized jars and store in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.
