Mincemeat Question!
24 Answers
In my Mum's house I have just found 3 jars of Tesco mincemeat still unopened and vacuum sealed, 2 dated BB 2010 and one from 2009. The one from 2009 contains brandy but the other two don't .... I have opened them all and tasted the mincemeat, its still lovely and moist and very tasty, the fruit is not at all "sugary", but is it safe to use - I wouldn't like to poison anyone! Hubby says there is no way it can go "off" when vacuum sealed, in the past we have eaten Christmas puddings well past their sell by dates too and are still here to tell the tale!
