How to Make Mince Pies - The Victorian Way

📖Order your copy of Mrs Crocombe’s cookery book here: http://bit.ly/2RPyrvQ 📖

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.
