This is an old seasonally suitable recipe from my parents restaurant 'Mr Eamonn's in Lahinch, it is a different take on Mince Pies for Christmas, it's a baked mince pie recipe and is really yummy.
Ingredients Bake at 110c or gas 1/2
1lb Raisins
1lb Sultanas
8oz Butter
2lbs Dark Brown Sugar
1lb cooking apples, peeled cored and grated
4 tsp. Mixed spice
1 tsp. Ground cinnamon
1 tsp. Grated nutmeg
1 orange and 1 lemon- zest and juice
6 tbsp of Brandy
Method
Mix all ingredients together, except the brandy and turn into a large ovenproof dish-big enough to allow for expansion, bake for 3 hours stirring occasionally. Allow to cool and then splash in the brandy. This mix makes 6lbs of Mincemeat and will last forever...
