1
This is a traditional British dessert or snack eaten around Christmas and New Year's. Great with a cup of tea or a glass of wine! We have adapted it here to use ingredients widely available in the USA.
2
Mix all the ingredients except the brandy and pie dough, and allow to marinate in a covered baking dish in a cool place for at least 2 hours or overnight.
3
After marinating, give it a stir and re-cover with foil, then bake at 225u00b0F for 3 hours.
4
Allow to cool, stirring periodically, and then stir in the brandy.
5
Makes enough mincemeat to fill 6 dozen muffin-pan sized mini-pies. This requires about 1 kilo of pastry (700g flour, 300g butter, splash of cold water-easy!).
6
Make these for a holiday party! (Or any party. I'm considering replacing my birthday cake with these this year!)
