Darina Allen and Rory O'Connell's Christmas Mincemeat

Darina & Rory's Christmas Mincemeat

Here are three delicious options, the first is the classic Mincemeat recipe passed down in Myrtle Allen's family for several generations. Of course, it contains suet so it's moist and juicy and best eaten hot. The second, Emer Fitzgerald's Mincemeat is vegetarian, it doesn't include suet or butter and is also gluten free. The third, Brandy Mincemeat, does not include suet either, but does have butter.

Darina & Rory's Beetroot Purée on Poppadums

I love this combination which I first tasted at The Dutch House in Galle in Sri Lanka, no less! If you can't source Buffalo curd, goat curd, or a soft mild goat cheese with a little extra cream will also be delicious.

How easy can a delicious bite be – the blue cheese needs to be mild and meltingly ripe.We were served this delicious little morsel with a Swedish Blue cheese at Wardshuset Ulla Winbladh beside Skansen in Stockholm. It's become a favourite little nibble with a drink.
