Fruit mince:
2 large green apples, finely chopped
1 kg fruit cake mix
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons mixed spice
250 g sugar (I used treacle)
150 g butter
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
the rind of 2 lemons
½ – ¾ cup brandy
Place the ingredients except the brandy in a pot on the stove and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes, add the brandy, stir through and remove from the heat. Use the cooled down mixture for the mince pies (* see link) or bottle the mixture hot in sterilized jars, seal and store until needed.
