I made my mincemeat yesterday, and it has just finished the 3 hours in the oven. It smells lovely

It was well worth making, Plant. It's a world away from shop-bought mincemeat.

Just a thought Plant, but could this be made now and keep until december or not."What doesn't kill us,makes us stronger."Comment

LG - I've got an unopened jar left over from the batch I made before Christmas - I just assumed it would keep like jam or chutney."Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognise how good things really are. "

I had a jar made last year which I used up this Christmas. I also have a jar left which I will use next Christmas. I find it has thickened a bit so I add some orange juice and or brandy.What is life if full of care we have no time to stand and stareComment

Ah, that's worth knowing Plant. Like Libra I wasn't sure how long it would last.“A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.” – UnknownComment

LOL - my OH added twice the amount of brandy when he made ours. Next Christmas could be very merry indeed if we add more.Originally posted by Plantaholic View Post

I've been making mincemeat (Delia's) for the past few years and it spoils you for the shop versions! First time I made pickle I nearly threw it all away as I didn't know it shouldn't be eaten straight away. Luckily someone on another forum put me straight!
I've been using ready made puff pastry but only the top few layers are crisp! Any ideas on where I am going wrong?xxComment

Just bumping this up for myself really! It went well last year, so I intend to make this again this year.“A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.” – UnknownComment

I've made Delia's puds & mincemeat in the past. I seem to remember they last a few years.Luckily I made the Christmas cakes & puds early October. They're in airtight containers on top of the cupboards in the utility. When I'm feeling a bit better I'll make a ''alcohol free' Christmas cake for DD2 as she's due to have her baby in February. I'll also use some of the remaining ingredients to make the mincemeat. Wish I liked it😊"Good friends help you to find important things when you have lost them....your smile, your hope, and your courage."
