Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Traditional mincemeat contained meat but this modern version is less rich and cannot spoil as a meat dish might. My Mother made large tarts (or small pies?) with pastry tops and icing sugar sprinkled on them when they came out of the oven. Tiny appie-size tarts are a welcome addition to a dessert plate.
