1 large jar of Morrisons Value Mincemeat (the sweet kind any brand will do fine) 80p
4.5L Water Free
400g White Sugar 50p
A couple grams of ale yeast 80p
Ok at first glances it sounds weird, but if you look at the ingredients:
Sugar, Apples, Currants, Sultanas, Raisins, Orange Peel, Lemon Peel,
Spices (cinnamon and nutmeg)
There was also vegetable suet, but lucky it floated to the top and I just used a sieve to remove it all! The only chemical addictive in it is Citric Acid which I remember adding to one of my turbo ciders so I'm not to worried about that!
Then just heated water with fill jar of mincemeat and added sugar,
let to cool a bit before adding yeast and transfuring to Demijohn..
job done!!
Will sieve fruit out after about a week and rack a few times when seatled
Primed with 50g of sugar to gve it a nice strong fizz!
I'm hoping it will be about 5% but forgot to take a OG reading :shock:
It will be ready in about 2 weeks, anyone fancy a glass?
I did this recipe last Christmas and it went down an utter treat,
so much flavour, such a novelty, people couldnt beleive it was made from mince pie filling and stupidly cheap & easy!
Ten pints for £2.10 :drunk:
