How to Make 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!
