Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large saucepan, combine the venison, suet, brown sugar, molasses, cider, currants and raisins. Place over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add the apples and orange zest and cook until the apples are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook another 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. Will keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Made this for Christmas and it is outstanding. Ran all over town trying to find mace though, so maybe order it if you don’t already have it. Also I thought it was going to be watery but it thickened up.
