Today I'm making a classic British dessert, mincemeat pie, with homemade mincemeat. I didn't put any beef suet in it, but I did add some vegetable fat, as it advises in this recipe: https://www.thespruceeats.com/christmas-mincemeat-recipe-435069
It also calls for a British item named "mixed spice." I've never seen that around here, but fortunately I did have all the spices that go into it. The mincemeat is mellowing in a warm oven for 2 1/2 hours and scents up the house very nicely!

I bought my mince pies at the Farmers Market yesterday along with a Christmas cake and a plum pudding. It would not be Christmas without mince pies. I will probably buy another half dozen at the supermarket on Tuesday (cheaper but not quite so nice) as I need a dozen to last me into the New Year. Only thing is to resist all these goodies until Christmas day.
