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

1 small turnip, peeled and diced
1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded and diced
1 acorn squash, cut in half and seeded

1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp cumin
¼ tsp turmeric
¼ tsp cayenne pepper

½ cup wild rice
2 cups water

2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 can coconut milk
2 cups water

Preheat the oven to 400F.Put wild rice, salt and water in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil, lower heat, cover and simmer until all water is absorbed, about 40 minutes.Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, mix liquid honey through black pepper until well combined. Brush the inside of the acorn squash with this mixture and put the halves flesh side down in a baking dish with about ¼ cup of water at the bottom.Add butternut squash and turnip to the rest of the spice mixture and toss to coat evenly.Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil. Add turnip and butternut squash and spread to form a single layer; drizzle a little bit more olive oil over the veggies and cook in the oven until nice and golden, about 30-40 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking.When squash is cooked, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.Meanwhile, cook the onion in a large saucepan over medium high heat, until slightly coloured. Add garlic and season with a dash of salt and pepper. To this, add the flesh of the acorn squash and 2 cups water. Bring to boil then simmer for 5 minutes.Purée this mixture in the food processor and return to saucepan (or use a hand blender); add coconut milk, cooked turnip and butternut squash, roasted hazelnuts and cooked wild rice.
