TRADITIONAL BRITISH BOOZY MINCEMEAT - FAT FREE



Traditional British Boozy Mincemeat - Fat Free image

An adaptation from an old family "Traditional Mincemeat" recipe which was passed down through my Mum's side of the family. This one however is FAT FREE - NO suet or butter and it still KEEPS for up to a year or two; I currently have a jar from 3 years ago which has aged and matured beautifully! I have called it traditional mincemeat as it has all the traditional ingredients apart from the fat and it is VERY EASY to make. I am posting this in early September so it can be made now and allowed to mature ready for Christmas MINCE PIES. Where I have stated rum or brandy, please use any strong liquor that you may have available; it's just that brandy or rum work very nicely with the ingredients. Make some pretty labels, add a paper or fabric lid cover with a ribbon and then hang a pie, scone or cookie cutter from the neck - and voila, a thoughtful home-made gift! N.B. It's the alcohol that keeps this mincemeat, so if you want a non-alcoholic version, I have a traditional suet mincemeat recipe posted, which does not need much if any alcohol - Recipe #257241.

Steps:

  • Put the cider and sugar into a large saucepan & heat GENTLY until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  • Stir in the rest of the ingredients, except the brandy or rum and slowly bring to the boil - stirring ALL the time!

  • Lower the heat and partially cover the saucepan and simmer gently for 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and leave it to become completely cold.

  • Stuffed Pepper Soup. Inspired by stuffed peppers, this soup is ready faster and with fewer dishes too! Have fun with the toppings—we top it with onion, Cheddar cheese and tortilla chips here, but salsa, sour cream and corn would also make stellar additions.
  • Cheesy Beef Enchilada Casserole. This veggie-packed beef enchilada casserole is mild, so put out hot sauce and chopped jalapeños if you're feeding heat-seekers.
  • Skillet Chili Mac. Poblanos add a kick of heat to this chili mac recipe. If that's not your thing, swap in green bell peppers to tone down the heat in this easy pasta dish, which mashes up mac and cheese and chili into a seriously satisfying skillet dinner.
  • Chili-Topped Sweet Potatoes. Transform ordinary baked potatoes into a full dinner with these chili-topped spuds. In this healthy recipe, we use sweet potatoes for an added nutrient kick.
  • Meatballs with Lemon-Garlic Orzo. Here, a little of the lemon-garlic vinaigrette used to season the orzo also gets stirred into yogurt for a flavorful and creamy topping.
