Christmas Mincemeat - Without the Meat!

"A classic from Mrs Beeton's. This is the more usual recipe found in the UK. Because I prefer it, I leave out the suet - which makes it vegetarian - and add more brandy if it is too dry."

  1. Easy, straightforward tasty recipe. I did not use suet, added brandy. I know the tarts will be enjoyed by all including my vegetarian friend. Thanks Sherrie-pie for posting this recipe.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Not much to tell! I'm a South African living in London, mother of four rangingfrom 25 to 9. I am desperately trying to get my children's stories published - anyone out there interested? Until my ship sails in, I cook, eat everything and anything, and then diet like mad. I love experimenting with new recipes and I absolutely hate spoilt kids who visit and say? "what is THIS?" and push it away without trying. My favourite cookbook is Mrs Beeton's family cookbook. 1994 edition.
