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..

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!
