And it will end up with the sandwich maker, and the bread maker.

I don't have a breadmaker any more (it died a few years ago), but I use my tabletop oven to make bread a couple of times a week.

 

I also have a George Foreman mincer which is a great machine if I want to do 4 or 5 kg of sausages at a time. I bought it in NZ 10 years ago and it still works very well.

 

I want to make pies and that looks like the best way to do it. My mate is off to Oz sometime and I will see if he can get me one.

But he couldn't float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.

I will be fine, possibly taste even better (xmas pud and cake do).

You were right, they tasted fine, all gone now and was making more mincemeat this morning.

Mincemeat.

60gm raisins, 25gm candied orange peel, 35gm Solid Palm oil (Samson), 45gm brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice, extra sprinkle of Nutmeg, extra sprinkle of ginger
1/4 chopped green apple (skin on)
Juice of 1 tangerine, Juice of 1/2 small lime
Zest from 3 tangerines/limes
1 cap of rum (Hong Thong)

Mixed spice, had to make my own 4 cinnamon + 4 Nutmeg +2 mace + 1 cloves + 1 coriander + 1 ginger + 1 Allspice
(didn't have mace or cloves or allspice, still worked out OK)

Mix all but the Rum together, stir well, microwave for 2 mins. Stir now and again as it cools. Add rum when fairly cool, give a stir every 15 mins for 2 hours. Let it all soak in and you're good to go. Add more raisins and peel if you think it looks too wet.
This makes 1 jar of mincemeat.

Candied peel 125bht/500gm YOK, Raisins 55bht/500gm YOK

Note: the alcohol and sugar is to preserve the fruit, candied peel might be hard to find, cake shops, bakery shops.

Thanks for that. I am going bulk shopping in Khampaeng Phet on Thursday and there is at least 1 bakery shop plus Tops, so I will make a shopping list in English, translated to Thai and stick some photos on as well.

Don't use a credit card and only have a Thai debit card so was hoping to get in Thailand.

That always makes me wonder why, credit cards over debit, can some kind sole enlighten me to why a credit card is excepted over a debit card
