Apricot and Almond Mincemeat
It's our Christmas Workshop Season so the rule is, we have to make a mincemeat. It is the Law.
Not everyone loves dark and delicious vine fruits and spices, muscavado sugars heavy with brandy.
If that is you this recipe could be the answer to your mincemeat prayers. Lighter fruits, citrus fruits, and some spices. This isn't a cooked mincemeat such as we have made before and it has the traditional shredded suet. There are vegetarian and vegan substitutes these days which would be perfectly suitable.
Let me just say that making any mincemeat is worth the effort, they are incomparably better to any that you will buy. Using mincemeat in other baking besides mince pies is really, really worth the effort so never fret that you have several jars on the shelf.
Mincemeat is not just for Christmas!
Our Workshops are friendly, no experience of cooking or preserving is necessary and we try to use everyday, familiar equipment. You can cook along with the Live Workshop or use the recording which will be place in The Library of the School soon after the Workshop finishes
So, take advantage of the block booking discounts to access all of the Season's Workshops with the security of knowing you won't miss anything.
We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our preserving family

I've thoroughly enjoyed your workshops over the last year and have learnt so much about preserving - there's a whole world out there, not just jams! Your warm and friendly approach is greatly appreciated, and you answer all our questions with endless patience. Thanks for giving me the confidence to experiment - as you say, what could go wrong?!
