can i take out the cherries and almonds from this recipe ?

Nigella has a new suet free mincemeat recipe thats in her christmas book. It's a cranberry based one.

Yes Chirpy, thats a lot of mince meat and dumplings isn't it?!!!

This is the self raising one which I use all the time, they do a [[http://www.dovesfarm.co.uk/listing.html?categoryId=135 whole range of GF flours but I find this one is definately the best all rounder, although I will use the white bread flour if I can't get the SR one.

ew, who would want 1.5kg of veggy suet? What would you do with it

Am going to get some Dove's next week, thanks for that

Thanks for the Nigella recipe!

I was looking for a suet-free recipe, because I can't buy suet here in Spain. I was going to make Delia's vegetarian mincemeat, but this looks much nicer and more traditional.

For gluten and dairy free pastry try Doves Farm Self Raising GF flour and use vitalite instead of butter/marg. GF pastry is horrible to work with as it doesn't roll and stretch like normal pastry, but you can make small things like mince pies with it just don't try to roll it out too many times and don't try to move it en masses once it is rolled out.

However I have just found this and would be tempted to buy some if it wasn't only available in bulk!!! Perhpas we should post on the allergies thread and see if anyone wants to share a batch!

Fab, thanks!

I know I should have made it months ago but, well, I didn't!

Will see if I can find nigella's recipe.

Thanks!

Bugger, really? She is the one who told me it was okay.
Will have to try Nigella then, glad I found this thread!
