I have made my mincemeat for this Christmas, and it was as easy as normal, so if any of you would like to experience really nice homemade, and easy to make, mincemeat, here is the recipe,<\/p>\n

3 lemons
\n8oz sultanas
\n8oz currents
\n8oz raisins
\n8oz caster sugar
\n1lb of grated bramley apple
\n8oz suet, vegetable or beef
\n1tsp ground ginger
\n1tsp ground cloves
\n1tsp ground nutmeg
\neighth of a pint of sherry<\/p>\n

– zest all lemons, put the zest in a saucepan with a little water, and boil until slightly softened, while this is happening juice the lemons and reserve the juice
\n– put the sugar in a large mixing bowl, add lemon zest to this
\n– add grated apple, spices, suet, sherry and all dried fruit
\n– mix well, and add the juice of the lemons
\n– mix again, then cover, and leave overnight
\n– pack into sterile dry jars to within 2cm of the top of the jar
