My dad's FAVOURITE around the holiday season. Takes a little bit of time, yet it's totally worth it! Vegan, and can be made alcohol free if you wish (substitute apple juice for the brandy). Not for dieters!

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup of dried apricots
  • 1/2 cup chopped pitted dates
  • 6 dried figs chopped
  • 2 apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sultana raisins
  • 12 prunes seeded and chopped
  • ¼ cup almonds
  • 1/2 cup brandy
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves
  • ¼ tsp ginger
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1 cup flour
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening
  • 1 egg replacer
  • 2-3 tablespoons of iced water

Directions
  1. Combine all fruits and spices in a saucepan, cook uncovered over low heat until apple is soft (about 20 minutes), stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  2. Pour into a non-metallic bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Preheat oven to 375F.
  4. Combine flours in a large bowl.
  5. Cut in shortening until mixture is like coarse-meal.
  6. In a cup combine water and egg replacer.
  7. Add to flour mix, stir well.
  8. Turn out of a floured board, knead lightly, cover and leave to rest for 10-15 minutes.
  9. Roll out dough, cut 12 circles that fit the bottoms and sides of muffin tins.
  10. With a smaller cutter (either circle or decorative… your choice!) cut remaining pastry into 12 “hats” for the tarts.
  11. Fit dough “bottoms” into the tins, spoon room-temperature (or thereabouts) mincemeat into each.
  12. Place pastry “hats” on the centre of each tart, leaving some open space around the edges.
  13. Bake for 20 - 30 minutes
