You need to keep a watchful eye on your fruit mince and give it a good stir every now and again, making sure the mixture does not stick to the base of your pot. If your apple juice starts to evaporate quickly, just add a little more juice or even some water to keep your fruit plump and moist. After about 1 hour you will see your fruit mince creation come to life and the aroma of spices will fill the house. You can also add a generous splash of calvados - which is a delicious French style apple brandy that will add a touch of festive cheer, but that's totally your call :)
