Mincemeat - for tarts!

[waddo]

Anybody spotted any jars of this stuff in the North recently? Have eaten all ours and need more to make more mince pies with - Ta.

Have seen it in Sah, Atakara and Illelis in the last week. This is the time I buy next years stock!!

none in Sah, Tempo or Supreme on Wednesday.

None in Sah today either! Will try Atakara and Illelis tomorrow and post result later in the evening.

It's really easy to make your own. There are a load of recipes including a quickie one on BBC website.

No Christmas puddings either

I see the Mods are well on the ball when it comes to things people are trying to find! I finally found the original post now moved to here - can't take up too much space on the main forum I guess. Anyway as promised - Atakara = No Mincemeat there either! Yes, you can make your own and if my name was Robertsons I would consider it but as they have been producing faultless mincemeat for many years how can I expect to exceed my requirements myself? Hey Ho, off to the South on Monday.

Fair enough. Have surprised myself by making a lot of things I never would have dreamed of making in the UK, just because it wasn't available here and had a yen for it.

For those lazy gits like me - Alfa Mega has shelf loads of long dated Dueres Mincemeat, will it did at 10:30 this morning and as I only bought two jars there should be the odd one left tomorrow! Could not find Robertsons anywhere so I guess it is very popular as it was sold out. Will store the jars I bought and make my own variation to see if I can emulate the real deal as well - loads of different recipes available so it's worth a try now I can fall back on real stuff. In case anyone interested, in Sah they are selling some new style cake tins (proper mince pie size - lol) that have holes in the base of the tins. These things are magic and I can finally make some super things without fear that the pastry is not properly cooked.

Will be glad when summer returns and I can get back to gardening instead of intruding on the Boss's domain in the kitchen - lol.
