Mince-meat

Ingredients

• dried currants
• sultanas
• liquor
• pastry for top crust

Directions

1. Wash the dried currants in warm water, rubbing them apart to remove dirt.

2. Drain the currants in a colander and rinse them in three more cold waters.

3. Spread the cleaned currants on a large dish to inspect for any remaining debris.

4. Mix the currants with sultanas and a little liquor, then let the mixture stand for at least 24 hours before using.

5. Lay strips of pastry in a cross-bar pattern on the pie instead of a top crust.
