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.

 

Copied this will try it Sinbad Thanks for posting.

 

Let me know what you think Scotcat :D

 

Simbad, I love them, haven't had them for a while though. I love Date slices too.

 

Mmmmnnn
A bit of a take on FLY CEMETERIES

Sinbad just made they are in the oven now added cranberries to mincemeat to get right weight.

The smell is divine .

 

Strongylodon ooo remember when my Mum used to make date slices I haven't had any of those since I was small.
Jack just had a piece of the mincemeat slice for my lunch, tried very hard not to think of your comment .
Bet they're even nicer with the cranberries Scotcat, good idea

 

Just put a batch of these in the oven, Simbad. They certainly smell ok. I went for the low cal option - 4oz of butter. That is slimming, right? :D The mixture looked a little dry but a liberal slug of marsala soon solved that one. It's funny ... no one wants to go into the kitchen when it needs clearing up, but suddenly I have rather a lot of people hovering around ...

 

Mmm. Not bad at all. Think I'll add in a few nuts next time.

 

Claralou your version sounds nice too.

Just had a taste with a coffee very good Sinbad I too said this would be nice with dates and apples.

Many thanks for the recipe.

 

I was thinking of that as well Jack I used to love it with butter on when my mum made it ! I think it was called dunny cake , from the Sunderland side of the family .

 

thanks for this simbad they are delicious

 

I second that might even be nice with custard.

 

As we don't eat Christmas cake or pudding I make mincemeat ice cream or pinwheels. Did my pinwheels two days ago but actually I made wagon wheels and they are too big so shall go back to pinwheels.

I am lazy at times .. so it's store-bought puff pastry spread with melted butter and Robertson's Rum & Raisin Mincement rolled up, sliced, put on a tray with melted butter on top then cinnamon sugar and baked till golden.

 

They look delicious Victoria, hardly worth spending the time making puff pastry when the shop bought is so good, what times tea :D, damn just seen you're in Portugal all be gone by the time I get there
