Mince Meat

Stew gently 2 pounds of lean ground beef in very little water, until
cooked through (or use lean beef, cook until tender, cool and chop
finely). Add 1 lb of chopped beef suet, 4 pounds peeled, cored and chopped
tart apples, 3 pounds sugar, 3 pounds currants (washed), 2 pounds raisins
(washed), 1/2 tsp mace, grated rind and juice of 2 oranges and 1 lemon, 1
pint of boiled cider (optional some of this is whiskey), 1/2 cup red
currant jelly (clear - I make my own). Mix.

This can be bagged in pie size plastic bags and frozen. (Apparently it
also keeps in a stone jar in a cool place (probably with a lot of
whiskey!). Absolutely delicious and I often throw in orange pieces and
lemon pieces as well as the juice.

Enjoy!
