Mince Pie Fillings

Well, I know it is still very early, but, these mince pie fillings take quite some time to ferment, so, why not? Yes, instead of Xmas Cake (which is my household tradition), I am planning on making Mince Pie this 2023. This is super easy to put together and I am pretty sure you have most of the ingredients on hand. So, do not buy any store-bought mince pie fillings and make this instead. See ya on Xmas.
