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.
ReplyDeleteI've used dried cranberries in previous years as my OH doesn't like candied peel either. I like the idea of apricots tho
ReplyDeleteI debating shall I or not. If I do it will be a very small amount this year.
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I've been hunting high & low for my mum, trying to find Robertson's Mincemeat - so far none to be had!!
ReplyDeleteI really do like your birthday wax wraps. This is such a cute design.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
