Directions
- Combine all ingredients in a non-metallic bowl.
- Cover and store in a dark place for 2-3 days to allow the flavours to develop. Stir once a day to mix ingredients evenly.
- Pack the fruit mince into sterilised jars, pressing down well to remove any air pockets, and seal with tight fitting lids.
- Unopened, the fruit mince will last for up to two months, if stored in a cool, dark place. If alcohol is added, the fruit mince will last for at least six months.
Note
Flavours will continue to develop over time. Once opened, store the fruit mince in the fridge.
