Mini Mincemeat Christmas Cakes

[@backpackmatt]

I am a firm believer in measuring for baking purposes and sifting the dry ingredients before incorporation. Well done, Geoff Cooper! 🐧🍏🍎💙

Hi Mattee. Thanks very much.

Good little cakes Mr Cooper. My mum back in the late 60's used to make Christmas cakes in small baked bean tins to give to elderly neighbours. It was the only time we got baked beans, she was a cook who didn't rate them much, good old home cooked food every day for us. As for cornflakes we only had them on caravan holidays, we thought she'd gone mad. Poached egg on toast was our breakfast. My mother even made apricot jam in a tent whilst on holiday in France. Not many people can say that 😂 Have a lovely Christmas 🌲

HI Diane. What a coincidence. I was only thinking, this morning, that I should have said the small baked bean, or may salmon/tuna tins could be used as a mould. You were lucky to have an inventive mum. Back in the 60s in my household we would have considered a tent holiday, anywhere, to be the height of luxury. Have a very nice Christmas.
