Ingredients
1/2 cup of dried apricots1/2 cup chopped pitted dates6 dried figs chopped2 apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced1 cup sultana raisins12 prunes seeded and chopped¼ cup almonds1/2 cup brandyjuice of half a lemon1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg1/2 teaspoon cinnamon1/2 teaspoon cloves¼ tsp ginger¼ tsp cayenne pepper1/2 cup whole-wheat flour1 cup flour4 tablespoons vegetable shortening1 egg replacer2-3 tablespoons of iced water
Combine all fruits and spices in a saucepan, cook uncovered over low heat until apple is soft (about 20 minutes), stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Pour into a non-metallic bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 375F.
Combine flours in a large bowl.
Cut in shortening until mixture is like coarse-meal.
In a cup combine water and egg replacer.
Add to flour mix, stir well.
Turn out of a floured board, knead lightly, cover and leave to rest for 10-15 minutes.
Roll out dough, cut 12 circles that fit the bottoms and sides of muffin tins.
With a smaller cutter (either circle or decorative… your choice!) cut remaining pastry into 12 “hats” for the tarts.
Fit dough “bottoms” into the tins, spoon room-temperature (or thereabouts) mincemeat into each.
Place pastry “hats” on the centre of each tart, leaving some open space around the edges.
Bake for 20 - 30 minutes
Number of Servings: 12

I grew up eating mincemeat every Thanksgiving/Christmas, always had 3 pies, pumpkin, apple and mincemeat, mincemeat was my favorite. I love chopping stuff, I find it relaxing so the time was no problem, the flavor is great! and it's real low in sodium. A little goes a long way, divided & froze - 1/21/20
