Our recipe collection features two variations of this classic dessert: a traditional Cranberry Mincemeat Tart recipe and a Vegan Cranberry Mincemeat Tart recipe. The traditional recipe uses a combination of butter, flour, and sugar to create a flaky, golden crust. The filling is made with a mixture of cranberries, raisins, spices, and suet, which gives it a rich, moist texture.

For those who prefer a plant-based option, our Vegan Cranberry Mincemeat Tart recipe uses a combination of coconut oil, flour, and maple syrup to create a crispy, flavorful crust. The filling is made with a mixture of cranberries, raisins, spices, and a flax egg, which provides a binding agent.

Both variations of these Cranberry Mincemeat Tarts are easy to make and can be tailored to your preferences. You can adjust the sweetness of the filling by adding more or less sugar, and you can also experiment with different spices to create a unique flavor profile. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey that will leave you craving more.

These tarts are nowhere on Zaar.The recipe came from a baking for entertainment leaflet. I think they would be nice at Christmas. I made the tarts but next time I am going to make into a pie. These also freeze beautifully. If you have the orange liqueur please use it.

Time 1h

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (700 ml) jar mincemeat
1 (398 ml) can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 orange, zest of, size not important,rest of orange will be used later
1/3 cup orange liqueur or 1/3 cup orange juice (Cointreau is good)
24 -26 prepared tart shells (store bought is fine)
1 9 inch pie shell

Steps:

  • In saucepan, combine mincemeat and cranberry sauce, stir constantly till almost boiling on medium heat.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Grate orange zest, peel orange and chop segments.
  • Add orange zest, chopped orange and liqueur.
  • Spoon into tart shells and place on baking sheet.
  • Fill pie shell and use top crust or make fancy cut-outs with pastry.
  • Bake in preheated 400°F oven for about 20 minutes or until pastry is golden.
  • For pie bake for about 35 minutes.
  • I can only fit 1 pie and 1 sheet of tarts at a time in my oven so cooking time includes the 2nd pan of tarts while pie is still cooking.

Tips:

  • For the perfect mincemeat, use a mix of dried fruits, candied citrus peel, spices, and suet or butter. Be sure to soak the dried fruits in alcohol overnight to plump them up and add extra flavor.
  • To make the pastry extra flaky, use a combination of cold butter and ice water. Be sure to work the butter into the flour quickly and gently, until it resembles coarse crumbs. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • When rolling out the pastry, be sure to use a light touch and avoid over-rolling. This will help to prevent the pastry from becoming tough.
  • To prevent the mincemeat from leaking out of the tarts, be sure to seal the edges of the pastry well. You can do this by crimping the edges with a fork or by using a pastry brush to brush them with egg wash.
  • Bake the tarts until the pastry is golden brown and the mincemeat is bubbling. Be sure to check the tarts regularly to avoid overcooking.

Conclusion:

Cranberry mincemeat tarts are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for the holiday season. With their sweet and tangy filling and flaky pastry, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So be sure to give this recipe a try this year!
