Best Basic No Added Sugar Vegetarian Mincemeat Recipes
MINCEMEAT
Mincemeat is a traditional English treat that is usually used as filling for mince pies during Christmas, but it tastes great mixed with vanilla ice cream, as well. This recipe uses butter instead of the traditional suet, which makes this mincemeat suitable for vegetarians. Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.

Steps:
- Combine cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice in a bowl. Reserve 1 heaped teaspoon for the mincemeat. Store the rest in a small jar for a later use.
- Inspect two 12-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until mincemeat is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
- Combine apple, sultanas, sugar, currants, raisins, and butter in a saucepan. Cook over low heat and stir gently until butter has melted. Stir in chopped almonds, orange zest, 1 teaspoon of mixed spice, and cinnamon. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set mincemeat aside to cool down for 30 minutes. Stir in brandy. Spoon into sterilized jars.

BASIC NO-ADDED SUGAR VEGETARIAN MINCEMEAT
I have just found this and I've not tried it. I want to next holiday season though so I'm posting it to keep it safe. I'm thinking that the fine grating disc of the food processor *might* do the trick as I don't have a food grinder. Tprep time is a guess. The 20 mins cook time is for canning if you choose not to freeze it. While this says "No Added Sugar" it contains tons of natural sugar in the fruit.
