I'm always on the lookout for mincemeat that meets the following criteria. 1) No meat, suet, or tomatoes 2) Not cloyingly sweet 3) Enough ingredients to make most of them a mystery 4) Keeps for a long time in the fridge, with the addition of enough booze 5) Cooks long enough to become the consistency of sludge After perusing more recipes than I can count, I finally synthesized this. I don't know if it meets criteria #4 yet, but it's working out pretty well with everything else.
