I made mince tarts last night. I love them. Tastes better than a slice of mince pie. I make my mince around thanksgiving. I just pick up raisins, dried apples, currants, dates, figs, cherries in the dried food section at my local co-op. I use a cheese gratter to add a stick of butter and a good shot of brandy with nuts. Stir together with lemon and orange zest, and juice. I also scrape a vanilla bean. Keeps in the fridge for weeks.
