Delia Smith’s Mincemeat Recip[e - cook in slow cooker?
I am just about to put Delia’s recipe in the oven and then wondered if I could put it in the slow cooker instead? Has anyone done this please? In the oven you put it on @120 degrees for 3 hours. I’m wondering if I put it on slow for about 6 hours if that would be right. Can anyone advise please? Many thanks.
