Been doing a bit of baking, singing along to my christmas CD, chestnut stuffing,sausage rolls,mincemeat slices.
Thought I’d put this recipe on for mincemeat slices, got this easy recipe out of a mag years ago, quicker to make than mince pies if you’re in a bit of a rush, my kids have never liked mince pies but they love these especially warm with cream.
4oz marg
6oz SR flour
2oz granulated sugar
6-8oz mincemeat
icing sugar to dredge
Pre-heat oven to gas 4 180c/350f. Grease a 7×9 inch shallow tin (I usually line with greaseproof paper too).
Rub the marge into flour, stir in sugar, then mix in mincemeat, spread mixture in tin and bake for 20-30 min until brown, cut into fingers when cool and dredge with icing sugar, yummy, store in airtight tin if you get the chance.


Mincemeat slices

I like the sound of the mincemeat slices Sandra , i'm not a fan of the pies either to much pastry in them .. I sometimes make a big one with a thick layer of cooked apple under the mince meat it's not so dry then .. ..
No eggs in the slices ... I suppose there's enough moisture in the mincemeat ... I will be trying this .. :o)

Looks lovely and easy to make instead of tarts. :0))))))))

Looks lovely shall have a go. When I do ordinary mince pies I always put a teaspoon of marscapone cheese over the mincemeat before putting the lids on, makes a nice change.
