Comment préparer Traditional British Boozy Mincemeat Fat Free

In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup apple cider and 1 cup granulated sugar. Heat gently over medium-low heat until sugar is completely dissolved, stirring occasionally.
Add 1 lb mixed dried fruits (raisins, currants, sultanas, cranberries), 1/2 cup chopped apples, 1/4 cup finely chopped mixed peel, 1/4 cup chopped candied peel, 2 tbsp lemon zest, 1 tbsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/2 tsp ground allspice, 1/4 tsp ground cloves, and 1/4 cup dark molasses. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low, partially cover the saucepan, and simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and let cool completely. Once cooled, stir in 1/4 cup of your favorite strong liquor (rum or brandy recommended).
Spoon the mincemeat into sterilized jars, packing it firmly to eliminate air bubbles. Seal tightly with lids and waxed discs.
Store in a cool, dark place for at least 4 weeks to allow the flavors to mature. It will keep for up to 2 years, developing a deeper, more complex taste with time.
**Gift Idea:** Create custom labels, add decorative fabric or paper lids, tie with ribbon, and hang a mini pie cutter for a truly thoughtful present!
