4 oz Currants

MINCEMEAT

4 oz Raisins
4 oz Sultanas
2 oz Cooking dates
2 oz Candied peel
2 oz Glace cherries
2 oz Flaked almonds
1 each Ripe banana, peeled

1/2 tsp Ground ginger
1/2 tsp Grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp Mixed spice

PASTRY

8 oz Flour
4 oz Shortening
6 tbsp Cold water


MINCEMEAT: Mix everything together either by hand or, if you desire a
smoother texture, in a food processor. PASTRY: Rub shortening into the
flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add enough flour
to enable the pastry to hold together. Roll out pastry & cut into 12
cm circles. Press circles into the bottom of lightly oiled baking
tins. Fill with mincemeat & cover with another pastry circle. Press
down at the edges & make a small steam hole in the top. Bake for 10
minutes at 400F, 200C Gas 6. These pise can be frozen before baking
either in the tin or remove from tin once they are solid. Mincemeat
will keep for 1 week covered in the fridge. Makes 36 pies

Advice on losing weight

If you enjoy your food, but need to get in shape and boost your general vitality, then, as any doctor will tell you, you really should decide on a thoughtfully planned well-balanced weight loss program. In theory, this needs to include 5 portions of fruit & vegetables a day and also take in the correct combination of protein, carbs and fat.

When devising a daily routine, you have to also try to decrease your intake of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.

When buying food, dieters often look at retail store and branded products claiming to be 'low-fat'. This is frequently a mistake, insofar as a food may well be lowered in fat, but whilst still being far too high in carbohydrates and calories.

Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Every now and then when going through a hectic day, you consider you need food when in actuality you might just want a cold cup of water or squash. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, albeit one of the two can lead to weight gain and the other one leads to no damage.

As an alternative to thinking about which types of food that you really should leave out of your diet, focus on the nutritionally sound foods which you might want to add to your weight loss program. If you manage to bring in the recommended portions nourishing grains and vegetables into your dietary regime, you will be amazed to find that you feel more full and have a much reduced probability of giving in to those unwholesome afternoon sweets and chocolate bars.
