Inspire me- 1/3 smll jar mincemeat

joedenise

If the jars haven't been opened you don't need to use them up immediately. They'll keep for ages. I've used up jars that I've had in the cupboard for a couple of years with no problems - it'll be a bit dry on the top but fine once you give it a stir.

I made some lovely muffins with mine: half a jar went into my standard mix (makes 12 smallish one), also added a tsp. mixed spice. They were some of my more successful ones ... demolished in a trice by OH!

Add half a jar and 1 tsp mixed spice to standard muffin mix ... yummy!
Oops, sorry, double post!

I make little bakewell tarts for OH's lunch box, I put mincement in the bottom instead of jam, he said they're delicious.

You could also mix with other fruit like apple/pear for pies/ crumble or strudel

:T Going to do this at the weekend. I started making fat balls for the birds with it at the weekend.

I've just seen mention of strudel, it reminded me of a recipe I saw somewhere, using filo pastry, that would work well with mincemeat.

a spoon or two down the core of a baked apple is nice and also a bit stirred into flapjaks also with apple in a pie or turnovers

Hi

I found this recipe on a thread on this site not so long ago, but I can't seem to find it again.......anyway I tried it and its lovely and very very easy to make:

8oz S/R wholewheat flour
3oz butter
3oz demerara sugar
1 egg
4oz mincemeat
4tbsp milk
white sugar for sprinkling.

Gas 6, 8inch lined baking tin

Put flour in bowl, add butter and rub in
Add sugar, egg, mincemeat and enough milk to make soft dough
put in tin and sprinkle on sugar
bake for approx 20mins (took longer than 20mins for me but I used a loaf tin and my ovens not great!!).:)

sounds odd, but its nice in porridge!
a personal favourite though is in the middle of a baked apple.
