Remember when the only people who cared about the environment were tree huggers as well as hippies? That has totally changed now, since we all apparently have an awareness that the planet is having problems, and we all have a part to play in fixing it. The experts are agreed that we cannot change things for the better without everyone’s active contribution. These types of changes need to start happening, and each individual family needs to become more environmentally friendly. Keep reading for some approaches to go green and save energy, mainly in the kitchen.

Perhaps the food is not quite as good when cooked in the microwave, but it will save you money to use it over your oven. As soon as you find out it takes 75% more energy to cook in the oven, you may look for more ways to use the microwave. Countertop appliances can boil water as well as steam vegetables more rapidly than your stove, and use a lot less electricity. You will be forgiven for thinking that an automatic dishwasher uses more energy than washing dishes the old-fashioned way, but you would be wrong. Especially if you make sure the dishwasher is full prior to starting a cycle. Don’t dry the dishes by using heat, utilize the cool dry or air dry options to increase the money you save.

As you can see, there are plenty of little things that you can do to save energy, as well as save money, in the kitchen alone. It is pretty straightforward to live green, all things considered. It’s about being sensible, most of the time.

We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to last-minute christmas mincemeat recipe. To make last-minute christmas mincemeat you only need 10 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you do it.

The ingredients needed to prepare Last-minute Christmas Mincemeat:

1. Prepare 400 g dried fruit, I used raisins and sultanas only but you could also add dried cranberries, cherries, mixed peel etc
2. Get 1 eating apple, peeled
3. Prepare 100 g marzipan, grated
4. Use 50 g butter
5. Provide 50 g chopped almonds or cashew nuts
6. Provide 75 g soft muscovado sugar
7. Get 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
8. Use 1 tsp mixed spice
9. Prepare finely grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
10. You need 200 ml brandy, rum or whiskey

Instructions to make Last-minute Christmas Mincemeat:

1. Mix the dried fruit together. Weigh the nuts and break them up gently with the end of a rolling pin or chop roughly with a knife.
2. Grate the marzipan and the apple. Put in a pan together with the dried fruit, nuts and butter.
3. Add the sugar and spices and grate in the lemon zest, then squeeze the lemon and add the juice to the pan. Cover and heat gently, stirring as the butter and marzipan melt so everything mixes together.
4. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes, then leave to cool. When completely cool add and stir in the rum, whiskey or brandy.
5. I left it to stand for a while longer as it looked too liquid, and in about an hour or two the rum had been absorbed into the fruit. I then transferred it to jars (two of them) left them to stand overnight, then used the mincemeat to make mince pies the next day, see separate recipe.
