More Christmas Baking

     I am really ahead of the game this year as I made some Mincemeat tarts to have at the Christmas dinner today. Just a quick batch of pastry and leftover mincemeat from last year. It looked a bit dehydrated so I added the last of the molasses from the plum pudding. They turned out well, just one for each of us. That will be enough as we will have plum pudding first!


   They will go in the freezer until the big day.

  1. Those tarts look delicious, love mincemeat. I have a jar in my fridge from last year also, was wondering if I could use it this Christmas I will need to check it our to see if it is edible. Should be, I think.

    1. Mine was from last year too - a bit thick so I thinned it down with some molasses.

    1. I was very good and put them straight in the freezer so I wasn't tempted to try one!

  3. I was just thinking about mincemeat tarts for the holiday season. Yours look perfect. Somewhere I have a recipe for mincemeat muffins which I need to find. Thanks for tip of adding molasses, I would have gone for rum (lol), but molasses is a better choice. :)

    1. They turned out very moist so I'm glad I only added a bit.

  5. The tarts look lovely. Now if you can come out to Saskatchewan and start my baking for me while I madly sew and work on the rug......

    God bless.

  8. Well done and how restrained. I have avoided eating mince pies so far because once I start I won’t stop but now we are into December it’s becoming unavoidable

    1. They turned out well and smelled delicious! But I was able to avoid the temptation. There's lots of other goodies in the freezer so I should be able to avoid them until Christmas Day.
