Homemade mincemeat recipe (courtesy of peasepudding.wordpress.com)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 cup brandy
- 1 Granny Smith apple (peeled, cored and grated)
- 100g raisins
- 100g currants
- 100g sultanas
- Juice & zest of 1 orange
- 1/3 cup breakfast marmalade
- 1/2 tsp mixed spice
- 40g dark chocolate
- 40g milk chocolate
I used shop-bought Dessert pastry. Of course, you can use pastry for the tops if you not keen on marzipan.
...and if you have a sweet tooth whack on a lump of brandy butter too! mmm.
Thoroughly mix Brandy, butter, icing sugar and muscovado sugar (optional) into a paste: Simplz.
