Savor the Ultimate Homemade Meat Mix

Ingredients

• 1 lb suet
• 1 lb brown sugar
• 1 lb sultana raisins
• 1 lb dark raisins
• 1 lb dried currants
• 4 oz candied mixed fruit peel
• 4 oz chopped almonds
• 1/4 cup allspice, ground
• 3 tbsp nutmeg, ground
• 1 tbsp salt
• 3 lbs apples, grated

Step 1

Begin by gently melting suet in a saucepan on medium-low heat until it transforms into a liquid consistency. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, leaving behind any solids. For optimal results, chill the liquid until it solidifies once more.

Step 2

Next, take the solidified suet and grate it carefully, measuring out precisely 12 ounces of the grated suet into a separate bowl. Keep this bowl aside for later use.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the enticing mixture of brown sugar, sultana raisins, dark raisins, currants, fruit peel, almonds, allspice, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Introduce the grated suet to this medley and gently stir to blend all the flavors. Completing this delicious concoction, fold in the grated apple, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.

Step 4

Cover the bowl loosely with aluminum foil and allow the flavors to meld at room temperature. Make it a habit to stir the mixture once a day to enhance the fermentation process, which typically takes 3 to 5 days. Store the mixture in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it in your recipe.
