Servings: persons

1 tart apple
l/2 lemon, zested and juiced
6 ounces seedless grapes, halved
1/2 cup dark raisins
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1 tablespoon chopped candied orange peel
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup dark rum
1 quart vanilla ice cream

1
Peel, core and dice the apple and mix it in a large bowl with the grated lemon rind and juice so the apple does not discolor.
2
Stir in the grapes, dark and golden raisins, sugar, almonds, candied orange peel, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves until evenly mixed.
3
Scoop the ice cream into individual bowls.
4
Melt the butter in a large frying pan and add the mincemeat.
5
Fry it, stirring constantly, until very hot and the juice runs from the fruit, 3 to5 minutes.
6
Pull the fruit to one side of the pan and add the rum in the other.
7
Heat it until almost boiling, then flame it.
8
Stir it into the hot fruit so the whole pan flames.
9
Let the flames die, then spoon the mincemeat over the ice cream.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
