directions

  • Preheat oven to 400'.
  • Using a fork; Combine Butter, Flour and Sugar. Blend until the mixture looks like small peas (flour will be totally incorportated).
  • While the tart shells are still frozen, spoon about 1 tbsp of Mincemeat into each one. Using the back of a spoon, smooth over the Mincemeat to create a flat surface.
  • Spinkle the top of each tart with approximately 1 tbsp of the Crumble. Do NOT press down.
  • Bake at 400' for 15 minutes or until edges of the pastry shell are lightly browned.

  1. Made this topping for my cranberry mincemeat tarts, and it is so flakey and tasty, will make this one again. Thank you for the recipe
     
  2. I'm so used to making regular-sized pies that I often overlook the tarts! Well, not this time ~ THESE TARTS ARE WONDERFUL! One thing I want to do another time (MANY 'another' times!) is to tone down the intense flavor of the mincemeat with perhaps a half cup or so of finely diced pears (canned)! Still, these will make great 'treats' during the winter holidays, especially! [Tagged, made & reviewed as part of my Pie theme in My-3-Chefs]

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My secret indulgence? Grocery Shopping. I can literally spend hours roaming up and down the aisles of a Supermarket. Sound crazy? Not if you're a self described "Foodie" like me. I am fortunate enough to live in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia. The food community here is very rich in diversity, which has allowed me to sample tasty treats from all over the planet right here at home. Aside from the Supermarket, there are tons of smaller Ethnic Grocery Stores, Butcher shops and Bakeries here in the city. Vancouver is also home to the Granville Island Public Market - a food lovers haven! Imagine over 100 fresh produce, local seafood, speciatly meat and gourmet shops all in the same building... no wonder I love cooking so much! <a href="http://www.stickergiant.com/cooking-with-wine_y8565.html"> <img src="http://www.stickergiant.com/Merchant2/imgs/250/y8565.gif" width="300"height="250"border="0" alt="Cooking With Wine"></a>
