Ingredients

60 g dried apple cubes (I used freeze-dried)
110 ml apple juice
200 g sultanas (I used Turkish)
175 g raisins (Flame Raisins are extra juicy)
175 g dried apricots (cut into small pieces)
150 g glacé Morello cherries (cut into small pieces)
150 g dried cranberries
50 g dried blueberries
40 g flaked almonds
40 g slivered or standard chopped raw pistachios
50 g crystallised ginger (cut into small pieces)
125 g unsalted butter (or dairy free alternative)
100 g dark brown sugar
100 g coconut palm sugar (or additional brown sugar)
1½ tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ginger
1 orange (finely grated zest and juice)
200 ml/g Calvados Apple Brandy (or alternative tipple of choice (see NOTES below for alcohol-free advice))

Steps:

Wash your jam jars in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
Place on a baking tray and put into a cold oven.
Turn the oven on and set to 150 C/300 F/Gas 2.
Once the oven has come to temperature, leave for a further 15 to 20 minutes.
Turn the oven off and leave the door closed until you have finished making the mincemeat and are ready to fill the jars.
In a bowl, mix the dried apple cubes with the apple juice and leave to soak while you weigh the rest of the ingredients.
Put all of the other ingredients (except the Calvados) in a large saucepan and lastly add the soaked apple.
Stir all the ingredients together over a low heat until the butter has melted and the sugars have dissolved.
Gently cook the mixture for about 10 minutes on a low simmer, stirring frequently.
Turn off the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Stir the alcohol into the mincemeat while still hot (but not boiling).
Remove the jars from the oven and pack the mincemeat into them, sealing the jars immediately with the lids.
Leave to cool and store in a dark cool place. The mincemeat will mature over a couple of weeks, but is totally delicious if used sooner too.

TRADITIONAL BRITISH BOOZY MINCEMEAT - FAT FREE

Traditional British Boozy Mincemeat - Fat Free image

An adaptation from an old family "Traditional Mincemeat" recipe which was passed down through my Mum's side of the family. This one however is FAT FREE - NO suet or butter and it still KEEPS for up to a year or two; I currently have a jar from 3 years ago which has aged and matured beautifully! I have called it traditional mincemeat as it has all the traditional ingredients apart from the fat and it is VERY EASY to make. I am posting this in early September so it can be made now and allowed to mature ready for Christmas MINCE PIES. Where I have stated rum or brandy, please use any strong liquor that you may have available; it's just that brandy or rum work very nicely with the ingredients. Make some pretty labels, add a paper or fabric lid cover with a ribbon and then hang a pie, scone or cookie cutter from the neck - and voila, a thoughtful home-made gift! N.B. It's the alcohol that keeps this mincemeat, so if you want a non-alcoholic version, I have a traditional suet mincemeat recipe posted, which does not need much if any alcohol - Recipe #257241.

Remove from the heat and leave it to become completely cold.
Stir in the brandy or rum and then spoon into cold, sterilised jars, making sure that the mincemeat is packed down firmly with NO space or air bubbles.
