Mince Meat

From Mrs. G. F. Aked

Chop very finely 1 pound of raisins (stoned), 1 pound currants, 1 pound good figs, 1 pound apples (previously pared and cored), 1/4 pound candied lemon and 1 pound beef suet well chopped. Mix thoroughly together, then add 1 pound of light brown sugar and the mince meat will be ready to serve.

N. B. - A 2-pound jar of marmalade in place of the candied lemon is very good.
