Favourite Christmas Recipe
I'm not known for my love of cooking so on the big day I help with the prep and clearing up, but Mr GBT does the food [I make an appropriate dessert ahead of time]. None of us are particular fans of traditional Christmas fayre either, but the one exception is mincemeat. This well thumbed recipe is my go-to one and I make a batch every couple of years. The spicy smells as I mix it up are gorgeous.

My hubby always cooks on Christmas day but this year we are going to a hotel, so we both get spoilt! I love mincemeat and would happily eat it all year. x
ReplyDeleteI can relate to going to a hotel...sounds like bliss. Hope it's a fantastic meal and no washing up!

Our family quaff serious quantities of mince pies so it is a no brainer to make the mincemeat but I have a couple of friends who always make a jar and send it my way. One always has the most gorgeous citrusy tang to it and the other heavenly and spicy - love them both :) (mincemeat and friends that is !!)
ReplyDeleteLove the sound of the differing flavours. Big mincemeat eating family here save TYM who rarely eats anything sweet.

There is something special about home made mincemeat. Love it.
