Mincemeat Parcels




Source of Recipe


Arielle


List of Ingredients




1 packet filo pastry; defrosted
1 400 g jar mincemeat
1 orange; zest only
15 g butter; melted
1 tablespoon icing sugar

Recipe



Trim the pastry sheets and cut into 24 squares approximately 15 cm. Place 3 filo pastry squares on top of each other at a slight
angle to form a pointed "star". Place a heaped tablespoon of the mincemeat in the centre and add a little grated orange rind.

Carefully pick up the pastry corners to enclose the filling and press together to form a "parcel". Repeat with the remaining pastry and mincemeat to make 8 "parcels". Arrange on a baking tray and lightly brush the parcels with melted butter. Place in a preheated
oven at 190c/ 375 F / Gas 5 for 10 - 15 minutes until crisp and golden. Dust with icing sugar.


Serve hot or cold. Delicious with vanilla ice cream.

Note: Mincemeat in this recipe is the fruit preserve used in Mince Pies at Christmas - not ground meat.
