I think I may have overdone it on the mincemeat front.

I am a bit puzzled my mincemeat recipe uses 2 grated apples to a kilo of mixed fruit and doesn't require any cooking, just mixing.

I've actually still got some of last year's left.

I have got jam jars but I like to use Kilners for mincemeat. Don't know why. Jam jars it will have to be though.

Better go and start sterilising 'em.

Cave woman has the right idea Gonegirl and I’m also lacking jamjars - I wish people would return them when I’ve given them the results of my culinary efforts!

Well, I guess you won't need to make any more for a while. That's something at least

Still think apple pie with cider sounds good

Thank you though Cavewoman.

The apples have all gone in the pan, with cider. I've managed to balance the lesser ingredients on top. I will leave it to do it's flippin', thing now.

It's got to cook to a mush. Perhaps it will go down. Perhaps it won't.

?

Why not freeze half of the apples for a future apple pie and continue with half of the remaining ingredients?
