Macadamia Mincemeat

Minced Meat, prepared and ready to be stored.

A yummy Christmas mincemeat is essential for a good mince pie. It is best done a month before to allow the flavours to develop but will still work if made a week before. This mincemeat is suet free, using coconut oil instead, giving it an almost tropical flavour accompanied with the rum.
