- Easy
- Makes 3 x 300ml jars
Ingredients
- 250g sultanas
- 125g currants
- 125g dried cranberries
- 50g chopped candied peel
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 150g vegetable suet
- 150g dark muscovado sugar
- 2 tsp mixed spice
- 1 small bramley apple, peeled, cored and grated
- 75ml brandy or orange juice
Method
- STEP 1
Mix the sultanas, currants, cranberries, candied peel, lemon zest and juice, the suet, sugar, mixed spiced and grated apple together in a saucepan. Stir over a low heat for 5-10 mins, or until the suet and sugar have melted together.
- STEP 2
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the brandy or orange juice. Pack the mincemeat into sterilised jars (find out how to sterilise jars). Leave to mature in a cool, dry place for at least two weeks – the liquid will thicken as the mincemeat matures. Will keep in the fridge for six months.
