I love making my own mincemeat, it’s really easy. The great thing about this recipe is that I can make it and use it on the same day, there is no waiting around for it to mature. I also love all the smells from making my own mincemeat, when I’m finished my house smells like Christmas. The good thing about this recipe is you can adapt to your taste preference.
