This is such a nice, light Christmas dessert if you don't fancy Christmas pudding. I look forward to making this every year and it's a lovely change from mince pies. I've included a pastry recipe but you could use readymade shortcrust pastry.
A gorgeous tart and lovely way to use mincemeat. Everyone raved about it. I used shopbought pastry but otherwise didn't change a thing. Thanks very much for the recipe - 04 Dec 2012 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
Was so disappointed with this. I made it exactly as described, but the filling , although browned and also left in for an extra 10 minutes, was soggy and undercooked. My oven is usually pretty good with temperature, so I don't know what went wrong. No time left now to get out for the extra ingredients, so will have to try again after Christmas. Flavours were excellent in spite of the texture. - 23 Dec 2012 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
this is a regular due to its popularity. basically a bakewell tart made with mincemeat, I used a whole jar of mincemeat, and it is definitely one of my family's favourite sweet recipes. - 11 Mar 2015 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
