CHOCOLATE AND BEETROOT MINCEMEAT

Ingredients

To make 6lbs of mincemeat..

5oogm sultanas 

500g raisins..

500g currants..

500g dried apricots or candied peel..

juice and zest of 2 unwaxed lemons &2 oranges..

150g glace cherries..

2 peeled and finely diced bramley apples..

200g dark chocolate drops..this replaces suet found in other recipes 

2 tbsp honey

3-5 tbsp mixed spice

1/4 bottle brandy..
and not forgetting 750gm soft brown sugar.....(oooops!)

Method:

Put all the ingredients into a large bowl, mix thoroughly  cover and leave overnight to soak.

The following day, fill sterilised jars with the mixture, if using cellophane covers, place a waxed disk on the top of the mincemeat before covering before covering with the cellophane cover. If using a screw-cap or glass hinged-lid jar, there is no need of a waxed disk

This mincemeat is best matured for a month, in a cool dark place before using, although it can be used straight away. opened jars will keep for a couple of weeks in the fridge. thanks to Helena for this scrummy recipe

all these ingredients are available from The Bear

 We hope you had a lovely time.... we did

And to finish off an amazing day the most beautiful sunset  pushes through the Bride stones
