This holiday classic brings together all the traditional flavours of the season – and it couldn't be easier to make!
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and grated
1/3 cup finely chopped Sultana raisins
1/3 cup dried currants
1/3 cup finely chopped mixed candied peel
1/4 cup brandy
2 tbsp amaretto
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp orange zest
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
COMBINE all ingredients in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 3 min, stirring halfway through, until most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir, then let stand until cool. Use right away or refrigerate in a covered container for up to one week.
Try using this mincemeat recipe in muffins for miniature Christmas puddings.
