2. Grate the marzipan and the apple. Put in a pan together with the dried fruit, nuts and butter.

4. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes, then leave to cool. When completely cool add and stir in the rum, whiskey or brandy.
5. I left it to stand for a while longer as it looked too liquid, and in about an hour or two the rum had been absorbed into the fruit. I then transferred it to jars (two of them) left them to stand overnight, then used the mincemeat to make mince pies the next day, see separate recipe.
