Christmas Mincemeat

This morning, I started a half quantity of Delia's mincement - see here:

DS doesn't like candied peel so I replace that with dried apricots and glace cherries. The above will sit until tomorrow morning now, being stirred a few times during the day, to help dissolve the sugar. I also reduce the sugar content by about 10% as we don't like ours too sweet.

Covered with one of my birthday wax wraps - lovely!

    That sounds really lovely. Especially when you can also used your waxed wrap.

    I've used dried cranberries in previous years as my OH doesn't like candied peel either. I like the idea of apricots tho
