This mincemeat recipe offers a traditional English treat that is usually used as filling for mince pies during Christmas. It tastes great mixed with vanilla ice cream as well. This version uses butter instead of the classic suet, which makes this mincemeat suitable for vegetarians. Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
