Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 pound (450 grams) finely chopped beef steak
Note: Traditionally made with beef or lamb and can also be made with wild game
1 1/4 cups (190 grams) raisins
1 1/4 cups (190 grams) currants
1/2 cup (80 grams) golden raisins
2 cups finely chopped tart apple
7 ounces (200 grams) shredded beef suet ((you can also ask your local butcher for fresh beef suet ground through a fine meat grinder))
2 cups (450 grams) packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons candied lemon peel
2 tablespoons candied orange peel
STRONGLY recommend using Homemade Candied Citrus Peel ((click link for recipe))
1 1/2 tablespoons (25 grams) finely chopped blanched almonds
1 lemon, its zest and juice
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons brandy
2 tablespoons dark rum

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except for the brandy and rum in a medium-sized pot and slowly bring to a simmer to prevent scorching. Reduce the heat to LOW and simmer uncovered for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, more towards the end to prevent burning. (If the liquid reduces too soon and the mincemeat starts to stick/scorch on the bottom, add a little bit of apple juice or water.) Stir in the brandy and rum. (Note: If you prefer to have the alcohol cooked out, add them at the same time as the other ingredients.)
  • Spoon the hot mincemeat into sterilized jars (spooning it in the jar while hot will ensure the suet rises to the top to create a layer of fat). As the mixture cools the suet will harden, creating a seal to help preserve the mincemeat. *If you're including the beef be sure to refrigerate the mincemeat. If you're storing it for more than a couple of weeks follow the directions in the blog post for pressure canning the mincemeat for longer-term storage.See blog post for additional ways of storing your mincemeat.
  • Makes about 1 quart. Feel free to double, triple, etc, as needed.
  • Use this mincemeat to make Homemade Mince Pies! (click link for recipe)
  • Note: Mincemeat is traditionally stored for several months before using to allow time for the flavors to deepen, however this mincemeat is also delicious eaten within just a few days.
