Fabulous Syd!! I made this last week, as I am making your rum glazed muffins and, as you know I am a HUGE mincemeat lover! I have several of my own mincemeat recipes - but I wanted to try yours. I did not add the apple and corn syrup - but used golden syrup instead.......other than that - I made it as posted, BUT I cut it back to 1/3 of the total recipe. A very different, but a lovely fruity recipe of one of my favourite foods........I am now going to make your muffins with your OWN mincemeat instead of mine! Made as an extra for Recipe Swap #15. Thanks Syd for yet another GREAT fruity recipe! FT:-)
