I bought a jar of Robertson's Mincemeat Classic . …………. I thought I might put a dollop on my plate of porridge to add a seasonal touch

Not something I'm a regular consumer of

Simple query …….. can you eat it from the jar or does it have to be cooked (eg in a mince pie) ?

Nothing on the label and can't really find a suitable answer via google

Mincemeat is traditionally cooked then cooled whilst stirring so it should be fine to eat "raw". A good one will have lashings of brandy in too so that should kill any nasties.
When we were kids my sister was very fond of mincemeat in an omelette. I wasn't so keen as her, though since I'm now diabetic its got far too much sugar in it now for me anyway.

Modern Mincemeat doesn't contain any actual meat, suet it probably the nearest it'll get so you're fine to eat it
