2 large cooking apples, 1 orange 1 grapefruit 2 tbls almonds 4 oz sultanas 8oz raisins 8 oz currants 1/2 Tsp cinnamon 1/2 Tsp nutmeg 4oz dark brown sugar 1oz melted butter or soya spread 2 or 3oz Southern Comfort
Method:
1. Soak the fruit in the Southern Comfort (preferably over night, but it doesn't affect the taste if you don't) 2. Add the juice of the orange, 3. Add the grated zest of the orange and grapefruit, 4. Add spices 5. Add the flaked (or chopped) almonds 6. Add the sugar 7. Chop the apple finely and add to the bowl 8. Melt the fat and add to the other ingredients and mix well.
Variations:
add some nuts, veg suet if you want it to keep longer, and heat to melt the suet and soften the apple
Serve:
Either spoon straight into waiting sweet short-crust pastry or into sterilized jars for storage. This mince meat will only keep for a short time, partly because it has very little to preserve it, but also because it is so yummy!! Best when still warm from the oven.
