I love this recipe. I have been making it for years. I have a question. With Shrinkflation a jar of Mincemeat is now only 635ml, not the 750mls as listed in the recipe. What can I add besides part of a jar of mincemeat? If I have to use mincemeat. How do I measure it?

  That's a pretty significant difference in package size. I'd recommend adding more mincemeat instead of trying to substitute something else or adjusting the other ingredients. You'll need about 2/3 cup more mincemeat from a second jar.

I have been making this fruitcake annually for years. I have everything to make and am wondering if I can make it before the Christmas holiday and freeze. If so, How can I do so without freezer burn. Thanking you in advance for you reply.

  Wrap it well in 2 layers of plastic wrap followed by a layer or foil or freezer paper and it should be fine.
