Apples? Make mincemeat of 'em.

Tuckshop Gardener: Apples? Make mincemeat of 'em.:
- 250g of dried fruit (prunes, currants, sultanas, raisins, mixed peel or whatever  you fancy in the mix)
- 125g veggie suet
- 125g whole almonds, chopped
- 1 very large apple, peeled and grated.
- 60g dark brown sugar
- juice and rind of 2 lemons
- juice and rind of an orange
- 2 teaspoons of mixed spices (I used lots of cinnamon and ginger, with a bit of nutmeg)
- 60ml brandy

I put it all into jars which I'd sterilised with boiling water. They are now safely stored in a cool dark place and will be ready for eating in a couple of weeks. Easy peasy - and one less apple in the store….
