How to Make Classic Mincemeat Canadian Living
- In a large Dutch oven, combine 4 cups chopped apples, 1 cup raisins, 1/2 cup Lexia raisins, 1/2 cup currants, 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup suet, 1/2 cup candied peel, zest and juice of 1 lemon, 1 cup apple cider, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and become syrupy, about 45-60 minutes. Adjust cooking time depending on desired consistency. The mincemeat should coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup dark rum (optional).
- Let the mincemeat cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The flavors will deepen over time.
