App onlyOrange & brandy mince pies. This is a premium piece of content available to registered users.
Add a spoonful of clotted cream to these mince pies to make them extra-luxurious – serve them warm with mulled wine
Tip all the ingredients, except the suet, into a large bowl and mix well using your hands. Leave to soak for at least 2 hrs, or ideally overnight.
Add the suet, mix again, then spoon the mincemeat into sterilised jars while they’re still warm. Will keep unopened in a cool, dark place for up to a year. If the mincemeat starts to look dry as it matures, add a little more brandy.
