home-made

Thanks everyone for your visits to my mincement post yesterday. This is for Joanne @gardencat who said she'd like the recipe - and for anyone else who fancies a little easy home-made seasonal fayre.

BASIC FRUIT MINCEMEAT
Put into a large bowl, stirring well after each ingredient:
8 ozs vegetable suet
8 ozs currants
8 ozs sultanas, roughly chopped
8 ozs raisins roughly chopped
4 ozs mixed peel
3 ozs brown sugar
zest and juice of a lemon
2 tablespoons brandy or sherry
1 cooking apple, peeled, cored, chopped finely

Mix all well together, cover bowl with clingfilm, leave a few days, stirring each day.
Pot into jamjars, cover with greaseproof paper and a screw top.

I store mine in the fridge.

OCTOBER 5TH!!

I've just realised, that today is the day in 2021 that I had my hip replacement op. How lucky I am now to be able to walk 3 miles, no trouble.

Thanks for posting this. Like your choice of DOF here. Can't believe it is already a year since we were all wishing you well before your operation. Time is behaving quite strangely these days. ( For me at least).

Looks great. Use to make my own but I cheat now and add a little extra brandy or sherry..

[Milanie]

Thanks for the recipe. I’m glad to hear how well you have recovered and were improved by the surgery.

Ah, nice. Looks so good in the jar.

Looks very tasty. Unfortunately, the recipe is not for me. I would definitely forget about the daily stirring!
