Mincemeat

Ingredients
1lb to 2lb Cooking Apples
1lb Raisins
1lb Soft Brown Sugar
1lb Currants
1lb Sultanas
4oz Candid Peel
1 Lemon juice and rind
0.5 tsp Nutmeg
2 oz Ground Almonds
3 tbs Brandy

Method

Mix all ingredients together and mince. Store in covered jam jars or freeze.   The higher the apple content the smoother the mixture.  I tend to like a fruity more open mix so I reduce the apple content to 1 lb but my mother when fruit was quite scarce and apples easy to come by used to use a high apple content.  I have to admit that if using in pies or tarts a higher apple content works better.
