It’s not Christmas without a good old mince pie! Mince pies are an absolute must when it comes to those festive feelings in my household. Usually, I just head down to the nearest supermarket to get my mincemeat, but this year I decided to make my own for a change. I’ve been INVESTING in homemade this year and so far everything I’ve made has been even more delicious than it would have been shop-bought. This Vegan Spiced Mincemeat is jam-packed full of winter fruits, cozy festive spices, and a good helping of holiday spirits (figuratively and literally). Super simple and so delicious, this recipe is also 100% vegan, so you don’t have to worry about a thing! Without further ado, let’s dig in!
Ingredients
- 200g raisins
- 200g dried currants
- 100g vegan suet
- 170g dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground allspice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- 1 orange, zest and juice
- 75ml dark rum
- 75ml brandy
Method
- In a large saucepan, combine all of the ingredients except for the vegan suet. Heat the ingredients over a medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the ingredients form a jam consistency, and the mixture is gently bubbling.
- Remove the pan from the heat and leave it to cool for a couple of minutes. Add in the vegan suet and stir until it is evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mincemeat into hot, sterilised jars, and add the lids to seal. Leave the jars to stand, cool, and seal for 24 hours, then store in a dark, cool, and dry place until ready to use. Once the jars are opened, consume the mincemeat within 5 days.
