- zest of 1 orange
- 140 ml orange juice (juice of approx 2 oranges)
- 100 g coconut sugar (sub: 90g soft light brown sugar)
- 1.25 tsp mixed spice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch nutmeg
Instructions
- Combine everything in the saucepan. Add all of the ingredients to a saucepan and stir together so the sugar and spices are evenly distributed.100 g dried sultanas, 100 g dried currants, 50 g dried cranberries, 50 g mixed peel, 50 g dried apricots, 1 granny smith apple, zest of 1 orange, 140 ml orange juice, 100 g coconut sugar, 1.25 tsp mixed spice, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 pinch nutmeg
- Bring to the boil. Set the pan over a medium heat and bring everything to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
- Simmer. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 7 minutes, giving the sauce time to reduce and thicken slightly.
- Rest with the lid on. Take the pan off the heat, pop a lid on, and leave for 10 minutes. This is what plumps the fruit up beautifully, so don't be tempted to skip this step!
- Jar it up. After 10 minutes, remove the lid and spoon the mincemeat into warm, sterilised jars. The mincemeat will thicken further as it cools.
