Freezer Mincemeat Recipe (2024)

Freezer Mincemeat is the latest request for a recipe from Home and Freezer Digest. It’s a really easy recipe that tastes delicious and you can store it in your freezer. Every now and then, I get another comment or request on the post I did about Home and Freezer Digest back in November 2009.

What is Home and Freezer Digest?

Home and Freezer Digest was one of the few cooking magazines available in the early 1980s. I did have many copies all in their special binders.

However, before I started my blog I gave them away to a charity shop. I still have the December 1988 copy and three of the special ‘books’ that I bought from them.

Christmas from the Freezer

The Complete Freezeaway Christmas

100 Best Apple Recipes

When were the Home and Freezer books published?

Only the 100 Best Apple Recipes has a publication date, which was 1981.

I’m assuming that, as 100 Best Apple Recipes was 75p, it came first. Followed by Christmas from the Freezer at £1 and finally, at the huge price of £1.95, The Complete Freezeaway Christmas Cookbook.

Occasionally I still cook from these books and have some real favourites in the Apple book.

Recipe requests for Home and Freezer Digest

I am not the only one with affection for these magazines and the recipes in them. I regularly get comments on the 2009 post from someone who used to collect the magazines, seeking a particular recipe.

This month I had a request for ‘Princess Pudding’, sadly I was unable to help. However, yesterday I had a request from Clare in Canada, for the mincemeat recipe from Christmas from the Freezer.

Finding copies of Home & Freezer Digest

If you are looking for copies of Home and Freezer Digest magazine, I suggest that you look on eBay. There are usually a few copies of both the magazines and the little books available at reasonable prices.
