Directions: |
Directions:Prepare fruit, chop raisins & cherries. Grate peeled apples on a coarse grater and put in a roomy bowl with the fruit, suet, sugar, lemon juice and rind. Add the spices and a tablespoon or two of any chosen spirit to bind it all together and mix thoroughly.
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and leave for 24hours. Stir well again and put in 1lb jars. Cover as for jam.
This makes approx. 2lbs. It will keep in the fridge for 6 – 8 weeks or if put in suitable containers it freezes well. |
