This is fantastic!!!!! Absolutely wonderful - and I am a mincemeat fanatic.. I had to use a mix of dried pears, peaches & apricots, and added generous amounts of spiced rum & brandy. I was given a lot of green tomatoes, and chose this way to use them - what a great choice. Thank you very much for sharing this.

I have a passion for re-instilling the love of good-quality, home-made and mostly healthy food into the hearts and kitchens of children and their families today. I believe that any ?homemade? food, even when labelled as naughty, is a more wholesome treat than pre-packaged, cookie-cutter junk.</p>
