Christmas festivities would not
be the same without a mince pie (or two) but many people still think
that mincemeat is made from meat. Traditionally it was and as a way
of preserving without adding loads of salt or drying, alcohol,
vinegar, and spices were used. Originally, more meat than fruit
would be found and it was more of a main course than a dessert.
However, over the years, mincemeat has evolved into a dish using
more fruit than meat and becoming more sweet than savoury. In fact,
most modern mincemeat recipes only use suet (beef fat), that is if
they use any meat at all, as vegetarian suet is now frequently
included as a very popular substitute.
My collection
of recipes is growing so I decided to gather them together in an eBook and share
them with you.
As I love
graphics, it is well illustrated. There is a page about the origin of mincemeat;
3 different homemade mincemeat recipes and 3 mince pie variations.
There will be
many more different items to come, of that I am sure, so I have decided to offer
the eBook to you now in a totally different way than usually found on the Internet.
I have not numbered the pages
in 'Homemade Mincemeat and Mince Pies', because if you wish to print out, you may like
to keep them in a binder. Then, as new insertions become available, you could
add them and possess what I believe will
become a beautiful book. So many variations appear each year so I think this is
a great way to keep them for reference.
Keeping the
original on your computer is so useful too, especially if a friend asks you for
the recipe.
Here are the recipes:
Classic Mincemeat
Tropical Mincemeat
Cranberry and Apple Mincemeat
Traditional Mince Pies
Dreamy Mince Pies
Coconut Topped Mince Pies
This is a snapshot
of the cover for you
to see.
You can view a sample page

The
insertions will be sent to you, free of charge, as and
when they are designed. So that you don't miss anything and to avoid going down
a membership
route, please ensure that I am kept updated with your email address.
