Preparation
Step 1
Mix all the ingredients together well in a large mixing bowl.
Cover and store in a cool place for two days, stirring the mixture occasionally.
Sterilize clean jam jars, fill with mincemeat, and seal with wax discs and screw tops. Label and store until required. (Leave at least 3-4 weeks for flavour).
To sterilise, wash the jars and lids in warm soapy water, rinse well, then dry thoroughly with a clean tea cloth, place them on a baking tray and pop into a medium oven, gas mark 4, 350°F, 180C°, for 5 minutes.
