Ideas for leftover mincemeat

[Ratty2E]

I still have loads of mincemeat left over from christmas. I have a mincemeat cake recipe but was wondering if anyone had any other ideas of how to use it up.

Baked apples - take a slightly bigger than usual core out - fill with mincemeat & bake until apple is soft&fluffy - serve with greek yoghurt - lovely :)

I sometimes use it in apple strudel.

That sounds good sunny-dave. I haven't got any left over mincemeat but I think I might buy a jar especially to do your suggestion.

my sisters friend had this and made very tasty crepes with a fine layer of mincemeat spread inside - they were delicious! Or just rolling it in some filo pastry?

Mincemeat bakewell tart

it goes so well with the almond topping

Also converted to a winter fruit chuney add a little vinegar, some smallish chunks of apple and pear and a chopped onion and some garam marsala and cook until fruit is just tender put back in clean jars and leave for about 2 weeks before eating

Mincemeat Slice
5oz margarine
3 oz sugar
4 oz oats
8 oz flour
8 oz mincemeat

Grease shallow dish. Melt margarine and add sugar. Stir in flour and oats. Spoon half the mixture into the tin, cover with the mincemeat and cover with the rest of the mixture. Press down firmly. Cook - either Gas No6 for about 20 mins or in microwave for about 6 mins. Cut whilst warm either into slices or squares..

This is one of my family's favourites, and is so quick to make. I make it all through the year.

Thanks all for your suggestions. I'm going to give the slices a go today but tomorrow I shall get some apples and try that too, I have 2 jars to get through.

I've got a recipe for mincemeat muffins, they are gorgeous, but don't use very much mincemeat, let me know if you want the recipe and I'll dig it out.

Thanks for the thought Jules but I have a muffin recipe.
