Cherry Fruit Mince
Ingredients
1 cup cherries, pitted and chopped
½ cup currants
1/4 cup prunes, chopped
1/4 cup sultanas
1/4 cup mixed peel
100g dark brown sugar
3 teaspoons mixed spice ( I didn't use this much)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup cherry brandy
1 orange, zested and juiced
Preparation
Place cherries, dried fruits, peel and spice into a large bowl.
Put the butter.sugar,cherry brandy, juice and zest in the bowl.
Speed 1, 1000C. Set time for about 7-8 minutes. Leave the MC off.
When the temperature is reached, remove the bowl and pour the contents over the fruit. Cover with glad wrap and allow to cool.
I cut this from the paper and believe it is a recipe from Ed Halmagyi.
My fruit mince is still quite liquid, so I will have to perhaps boil some of the liquid off. Will do this next time.

Bump :)

Cookie, this sounds yummy, will you make this again this year?
-
Probably. Either this or the non fat fruit mince Mum used to make.
-
Have got this on at the moment and will need to invest in a cherry pipper if to make it again. Hope it thickens up.
-
You may need to add some cornflour or leave some juice behind. It is rather liquid.

This is divine; I put it all in tmx for a few minutes on reverse to reduce liquid a bit. Will make some special little fruit mince pies because SIL loves them. Thanks Cookie for the recipe.

I like this but do prefer Mum's recipe too. Unfortunately I haven't been able to make this so far this year, so I did the cherry one.
