Mincemeat Sauce For Ice Cream Recipes

MINCEMEAT

Steps:

• Combine cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice in a bowl. Reserve 1 heaped teaspoon for the mincemeat. Store the rest in a small jar for a later use.
• Inspect two 12-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until mincemeat is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Combine apple, sultanas, sugar, currants, raisins, and butter in a saucepan. Cook over low heat and stir gently until butter has melted. Stir in chopped almonds, orange zest, 1 teaspoon of mixed spice, and cinnamon. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and set mincemeat aside to cool down for 30 minutes. Stir in brandy. Spoon into sterilized jars.

CLASSIC MINCEMEAT PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Unroll pie crusts. Line ungreased 9-inch pie plate with one crust. Fill with mincemeat. Cover with second crust and seal edges. Cut slits in top crust to vent steam. Bake 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.

MINCE PIE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• If your Mince Pie pastry is a little on the soft side, refresh in an oven at 180C (fan) for 10 mins
• Heat Milk, Cream, half of the Caster Sugar and Vanilla paste in a saucepan over a medium heat. Heat until just starting to simmer then remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, blitz Mince Pies, Salt and Spices in a food processor until the mix resembles a course crumble (if you blitz too fine the pastry will over-thicken your custard).
• Add the Mince Pie mixture to the Milk and Cream, then leave to cool and infuse for half an hour.
• In a clean bowl, cream together the Egg Yolks and the other half of the Caster Sugar with an electric whisk, until light and fluffy.
• Pass the Mince Pie/Custard mix through a sieve and return to the heat until just simmering again, before gradually and slowly adding it to the creamed Egg Yolks, whisking all the time with a hand whisk.
• Return to the heat in a saucepan and reduce to a thick custard, again whisking all the time. Once it clings to the back of your spoon and leaves a trail when you drizzle it, remove from the heat.
• Churn according to your Ice Cream Machine's instructions before decanting into freezable containers and allowing to firm for a few hours before serving.
• Serve with crumbled Ginger Biscuits, Toasted Pistachios (or your favourite nut) and a drizzle of Date Molasses - fruitier than Treacle and reminiscent of a juicy Mince Pie filling.
