  • Yield: 4 cups of mincemeat pie filling 1x
  • Diet: Vegan

Description

A rich, fruity, and warmly spiced vegan mincemeat pie filling made with molasses. This plant-based classic is perfect for holiday baking, tarts, or enjoying by the spoonful. It’s a make-ahead filling that captures the essence of traditional mincemeat without any animal products.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mixed dried fruit (raisins, currants, sultanas, dried cranberries)
  • 1/2 cup chopped dried figs or dates
  • 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
  • 1 small tart apple, finely chopped
  • Zest and juice of 1 orange
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/3 cup chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, adjust to taste
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or vegan butter
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup brandy (optional, or orange juice)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Chop dried fruits into small, even pieces. Finely dice the apple and zest your citrus. Measure all ingredients.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat: chopped dried fruits, apple, citrus zest and juice, brown sugar, molasses, coconut oil, spices, salt, nuts, and brandy (if using). Stir well.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The fruits should plump and the mixture should thicken and darken.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool completely.
  5. Transfer the cooled vegan mincemeat filling into a clean jar or container for storage.
