  Am hoping to make my own mincemeat this year...just wondering if you have to use the suet? Can you use butter? Or just leave it out altogether?

  Delicious. We made this in late Autumn, and have just finished off the last jar from the fridge (in Spring). It lasted really well, was delicious in mince pies, and I really liked the inclusion of the apples and the almonds - made it a bit more special. I also included 100g of cherries in mine, and a little more brandy. I had thought it should keep (unopened) at room temperature, given it is mainly dried fruit and brandy - but I didn't want to risk trying it to find it had gone off, so kept mine in the fridge.
