  • Mincemeat recipes?

    Being of a diabetic persuasion, I cant use commercial mincemeat for my Christmas mince pies. Does anyone have a recipe for making their own that I could perhaps adapt using fructose and maple syrup/agave syrup to sweeten if necessary?

    I've not used this one , but it is for diabetics, it might be worth giving it a go.

    NO SUGAR MINCEMEAT

    Recipe Ingredients:
    3 cup Apple pulp, some skins
    1/2 large Lemon with peel, ground
    1 medium Orange with peel, ground
    1 cup Seedless raisins, ground
    1 cup Seedless raisins whole
    1 cup Currants (or more raisins)
    2 tsp Cinnamon
    3/4 tsp Nutmeg
    3/4 tsp Cloves
    3/4 tsp Allspice (optional)
    1/2 tsp Salt (optional)
    2 tbsp Flour (or 1 tb arrowroot fl)
    1/4 cup Date sugar (optional)
    1 1/2 tsp Rum flavoring (optional)




    Recipe Instructions:
    Quarter and core apples, but do not peel. Grind in old-fashioned meat
    grinder (food processor makes them too fine), using medium-coarse
    blade. Remove seeds from lemon and orange, grind and add to apples.
    Grind 1 cup raisins.

    Mix all ingredients except rum flavoring in large bowl, stirring in
    spices and flour, then date sugar if desired. Add flavoring and mix
    again. Place in covered bowl or other container with tight lid;
    refrigerate at least one week before using or canning. (1/2 inch
    head space, boiling water bath 20 min for pints after water returns
    to boil, longer for altitudes over 1000 ft.) If any jars fail to
    seal, freeze for later use.

    To freeze after refrigerating for the recommended week, place in clean
    freezer containers or jars, leaving 1/2 inch at top. Cover with
    clean lids and place in sharp-freeze section of freezer until frozen.
    Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using. Makes 1 quart,
    enough for 2 8-inch pies.
