fishfish 17 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 its my very own recipe! . this year i won first prize at a local village show for my 'calvados mincemeat' so this year i decided to make a real to die for luxoury recipe,ime afraid its in industrial quantitys,maybe some nice folk could post a reduced version,this makes about 10lb of heaven! 1lb currants 1lb raisin and sultanas 1lb golden raisins 8oz candied peel 8oz dried cranberries 4oz chopped glacecherries 8 oz marzipan choped into little pieces. the peel of 4 tangerines pith removed,finely shreded zest of 2 large oranges 1 tablespoon mixed spice 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1lb dark brown sugar 6 tablespoons black treacle 3lb COLD stewed apple 4oz grated (or shreded ) suet 4tablespoons gravey browning 1 pint brandy 1/2 pint cider 4 oz rice flour the mix will be a bit wet,let it sit overnight,the fruit will soak up the moisture. if my past recipe's are anything to go by this should keep indefinitely,i have some that is 2 years old in the cupboard and its fine,in fact i think it can benifit from the maturation.
