that's Mincemeat NOT Minced Meat! bottles of mincemeat in Tesco's TODAY at 20p per bottle....yes I did say 20P a bottle!
great for flavouring stews and stewed fruit..keeps for ever!
Never really thought about mincemeat. When you say keeps forever what do you mean. I've heard that said about several items.
I ate a mincemeat jar thing I made when I was in pre-school. Was about 20ish years old when I stuck it in the pastry. Tasted delicious.

keeps until you eat it! certainly had some that was over 5 years old with no ill effects, same goes for Christmas pudding...that even gets better with age.
Fair enough. Don't know how I missed that one.
Will see if our local Tesco has some tomorrow cheers BP
I imagine it's pretty nutritious as well. Fruit, sugar, carbs (from the suet) - what's not to like?
Its a very good suggestion, O/H is going to look in Oban on Thursday, [ 2 hours away ]...that is our nearest Tescos they may be out by then, but I am sure she will find some somewhere
Mmmm Mincemeat. Christmas Pudding. Not sure whether our US cousins would understand. It's like trying to explain marmite.
I have a distance to go to a big tesco so I went to a few other places including Corner Tesco, Asda and Morrisons. None of them have Mincemeat in at the moment. Strange.
