BRITISH CHRISTMAS MINCEMEAT
The way we have always made ours was with Venison. But the British use the Suet in this recipe and it is aged so you will make it ahead of time with the Brandy, that way it has plenty of time to age with the fruit. Plus you can give jars of it away as gifts too. You can also can it for next year. I use Grand Marnier. Christmas and British food means mince pies filled with delicious home made mincemeat. Christmas mincemeat is not, as the name suggests, meat, if you look at the Christmas mincemeat recipe you will see it is sugar, fruits both fresh and dried, Brand and suet.

Steps:
- In a large bowl combine all the ingredients except the grand marnier. Stir really well making sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave overnight.
- Next day, heat the oven to 225°F. Remove the tea towel and cover the bowl with foil and place in the warmed oven for 2 1/2 hrs. The suet will have melted but don't worry, this is how it should be as the fat is what will help to preserve the mincemeat. Stir well and leave to one side to cool, stirring from time to time.
- Once cool stir the mincemeat again, add the grand marnier and stir again.
- Fill sterilised jars with the cold mincemeat, cover with a wax disc/wax(paraffin) and a lid. The mincemeat will keep up to one year in a cool, dark place.
TRADITIONAL BRITISH MINCEMEAT FOR CHRISTMAS MINCE PIES!
A subtle blend of sweet and savoury with just a hint of alcohol which echoes the ancient practice of adding spice and fruit to meat dishes. I also have a "Boozy Fat Free" mincemeat recipe posted,Recipe #184762, but if you wish to make a mincemeat recipe with little or no alcohol, this is a wonderful traditional recipe for long lasting mincemeat. Mincemeat was always made at home before the advent of commercial brands, and although this is based on an old recipe, this was obviously made after the introduction of sugar into England. In earlier times mincemeat was a mixture of real meat, spices and fruit. The only remaining and symbolic ingredient of this ancient culinary practice is the inclusion of the suet - which can be beef or vegetable suet for vegetarians. Excellent in mince pies and all manner of steamed and sticky puddings! PS. If you cannot obtain suet locally, you can use grated butter instead; place the butter in the freezer until nearly frozen and very firm and then grate into the bowl straight away.

- You can follow the directions for this pie pastry tutorial. Cut the butter into the flour with two knives or a pastry cutter, then add the sugar and enough ice water, just so the pastry comes together without falling apart.
- If you add too much water, the dough will be tough. If you are a more accomplished cook, you could add an egg yolk instead of the water, which yields an even tastier pastry.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/4" and cut into rounds to place into cupcake tins or small tartlet tins.
