A mincemeat recipe (though you should have started ages ago you lazy gits)

First get yourself a huge mason or kilner jar (the bigger the better)

The basic recipe for the mincemeat is Raisins Candied peel Grated cooking apple Suet (beef if you're not a heathen,vegetable if u r)

Optional chopped mixed nuts (insert rude nut based joke here)

Alcohol for soaking in mince in, traditional alcohols for this tend to be brandy rum and sherry,stout also crops up but here's how i used to do it so the 1st year i did the traditional brandy and rum and filled the jar then left it a few months to mingle,come january id top up the jar with fresh raisins etc then throughout the year I'd feed the mince,say u get a bottle of nice whisky or any clear booze save a shot to feed the mince stir the contents so it all mixes,come Christmas use said mince and repeat the cycle every year the mince gets better and better

bon appetit
