Mincemeat
1 small navel orange
1 small lemon
8 cups finely diced unpeeled apples
1 1/2 cups golden raisins
1 1/2 cups seedless raisins
1 cup mixed diced candied fruits
1 cup orange juice
4 cups packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves

Quarter and seed orange and lemon. Grind in food grinder or food processor
fitted with a steel blade. In Dutch oven combine ground orange and lemon, apples,
raisins, candied fruits and orange juice. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer
15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sugar, spices and salt. Simmer 15 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Add 1 cup of brandy. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until
mixture is thick like jam — about 1 hour. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining
brandy. Store covered in refrigerator up to 2 months.
