It's best to make your mincemeat ahead of time so that it has time to age before using in your favourite recipe. This mincemeat can be safely stored in the fridge for six weeks, but even if you need to use it within a few days it'll still be delicious!

How to Make Mince Pies - The Victorian Way
????Order your copy of Mrs Crocombe’s cookery book here: ????
Mrs Crocombe is making traditional mincemeat in the Victorian kitchens of Audley End House. She’s made enough to last the whole Christmas season and will be using it to make some mince pies today. If you would like to make some yourself, storing it in sterilised jars will make it last a very long time indeed!
INGREDIENTS
450g Ox Tongue
900g Raisins
900g Minced Apples
900g Suet (you can use shortening as a substitute)
1.1kg Currants
1.1kg Caster Sugar
450g Candied Peel
2 Lemons
Salt
2 Grated Nutmegs
1 tbsp Ginger
1tsp Pounded Mace
300ml Sherry (or Madeira)
300ml Brandy
METHOD
Combine the ox tongue, suet, raisins, currants, apples, candied peel, the rind and juice of boiled lemons, sugar, two pinches of salt, ginger, mace, nutmeg, sherry and brandy into a large container or bowl. Give it a good mix until all of the ingredients are combined. You can store your mincemeat in sterilised jars, or create some mince pies just like Mrs Crocombe.

Hello folks!
Tonight for tea I made traditional mince an’ tatties! Or minced beef in gravy and mashed potatoes :) We absolutely love this…and you’ll find this on the dinner tables of most families in Scotland at some point in the week! Such a delicious combination of flavours and textures. Pure comfort food and a big favourite in our house :)
Everything I used will also be listed below,
-Cheryl x
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
What I used - Serves 3 - 4
460g (1 lb) Good quality steak mince or ground beef
1kg (2.5 lbs) Potatoes - I used Maris Piper potatoes (Use a floury potato good for mashing, not a waxy variety)
1 Large swede, turnip or rutabaga - peeled and diced into chunks
1 Large onion - finely diced
2 Large carrots - peeled and diced
300ml (10.5 fl oz) Beef stock (use what you need - you might not need all of it)
1 Tablespoon cornflour/cornstarch and 1 tablespoon cold water mixed together - Or use Bisto powder instead of the cornflour if you prefer
2 Knobs of butter (around 60g/2 oz)
A splash of cream
A splash of milk
A splash of vegetable oil
Salt & white pepper to taste
**I served ours with mashed swede, but garden peas or steamed cabbage also work great**
