About the recipe
Many kids don’t like mincemeat, probably because the richness can be a little intense for them. This is a kid-friendly version, packed with fruit, and as there's no cooking involved, children can get involved in the whole process.
Recipe From
Ingredients
2 lemons
6 clementines
150g dried apricots
100g dried cranberries
200g raisins
200g unrefined light muscovado sugar
2 eating apples
1 heaped teaspoon cinnamon
1 heaped teaspoon ground nutmeg
150g vegetable suet
Method
- Finely grate the lemon zest, plus the zest from 2 of the clementines. Roughly chop the apricots and cranberries. Coarsely grate the apples.
- Add the lemon and clementine zest to a bowl and squeeze in all the clementine juice.
- Stir in the dried fruit, sugar, apples and spices, followed by the suet, then mix until combined.
- If making your mincemeat for this December, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three weeks. Alternatively, spoon it into sterilised jars and store in a cool place for up to a year.
