The frosting recipe is optional - you can use any butter type frosting and we prefer one enhanced with orange rind or orange liqueur. Enjoy......

Tips:

  • For the perfect mincemeat, use a mix of dried fruits, apples, spices, and suet. Chop the fruits and apples finely, and ensure the suet is finely shredded.
  • To make the pastry, use cold butter and work it quickly into the flour. This will help prevent the pastry from becoming tough.
  • When assembling the bars, spread the mincemeat evenly over the pastry. Don't overload it, or the bars will be difficult to cut.
  • Bake the bars in a preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown and the mincemeat is bubbling.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help prevent them from crumbling.
