Advice Needed: Making Mince Pie Filling

Posted by Ann Fisher, November 26, 2007

I've decided this year that I want to make my own (British style) mince and I've found a couple recipes that appeal to me, but I have some questions:

1) All of the recipes call for "mixed peel" which I assume is candied lemon, orange and lime peel? Can anyone confirm this for me? I guess I'll be making my own mized peel soon!

2) I want to avoid using "shredded suet" so that my daughter (vegetarian) can partake. What is a good substitute?

Thanks!
