Steps:
- Wash the dried fruit thoroughly in a colander under the cold tap (you may find it easier to do this in batches) - whatever it says on the packet, washing the fruit is something I've (Ruth Watson) always done. Tip the fruit on to clean tea towels and dry by patting in the cloths.
- Put the dried fruit in a very large bowl with the apples, suet, almonds, sugars and spices. Grate the zest of the lemon into the bowl, then squeeze in the juice. Tip in the peel and the alcohol.
- Mix all the ingredients very thoroughly - it's easiest to do this with your (very clean) hands.
- Cover and leave to stand for 24 hours, asking the family to stop and give it a good stir with a spoon when they pass by.
- Pack the mincemeat into sterilised or dishwasher-clean jars (Kilner jars are ideal) and top with greaseproof paper jam covers. Seal the jars tightly and store in a cool place. The mincemeat will last from one year to the next, but's best used within 6 months.
LUXURY MINCEMEAT
From WI Complete Christmas. I always used bought mincemeat for my Christmas mince pies but this year I decided to make my own and I'm so glad I did. I normally secretly don't like mince pies but feel I have to make them to be seasonal but this year I have to say I really enjoyed them; the mincemeat also made the whole house smell wonderfully seasonal. The original recipe calls for 50g chopped walnuts or hazelnuts, as we don't like nuts I added 25g each to the sultanas and raisins instead. I feel sure the recipe could be altered to suit individual tastes and I intend to try it with some cranberries added. It can apparently be frozen and actually used directly from the freezer as it scoops like ice cream. It is essential to have 450g apples after the peels and cores have been removed.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Beat the butter with both types of sugar and the salt. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract and mincemeat. Stir in the flour and bicarbonate of soda, then chill for 20 mins.
- Scoop tablespoons of the mixture onto two lined baking sheets, leaving a bit of space between each so they can spread. Bake for 10-12 mins, or until the cookies are just firm around the edges but still soft in the middle - they will firm up as they cool. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool.
