This is a Mary Berry recipe given to me by a neighbour. It works wonderfully, tastes great even straight from the freezer and is a doddle to make.
350g mincemeat (shirley's, your own or shop bought)
2 eggs
150g caster sugar
150 soft margarine
225g self raising flour (Gluten free with 2tsps baking powder works just as well)
225g currants (I usually use raisins or sultanas)
a few flaked almonds (optional)
Heat oven to 160C. Grease and line base of 2 x 1lb loaf tins with greaseproof paper.
Crack eggs into a large roomy bowl and add all the other ingredients except almonds. Mix until well blended, divide between the two tins, level tops.
sprinkle with almonds if using. Bake for approx 1 1/4 hrs until risen and pale golden brown and shrinking away form sides of tin.
A fine skewer inserted should come out clean.
Turn out of tins and cool on a wire rack.
Peel off paper and store in an airtight tin.
Delish with tea/coffee etc.
Can be frozen.
