Mincemeat Tart Filling | Dairy-Free/Vegan



(Small Batch – perfect for 1 large tart or 10–12 mini tarts)


Sounds kinda weird for a dessert, but it’s really just a fruity filling, packed with a variety of dried fruits like raisins, berries, soaked in a sweet spiked juice. It sits to let the flavours meld, then gets used as a tart filling.


Ingredients

  • 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled & finely diced or grated

  • 200g mixed dried fruit, for example:

    • 50g raisins

    • 50g sultanas/golden raisins

    • 30g dried blueberries

    • 40g currants

    • 30g dried apricots, finely chopped

  • 30g mixed peel

  • 15g candied ginger, finely chopped

  • 1 orange – zest + juice

  • 50g coconut sugar/sweetener of choice (I used allulose)

  • Spices:

    • ½ tsp cinnamon

    • ½ tsp mixed spice, pumpkin spice or combo of allspice/nutmeg/clove

  • 40g finely diced/grated frozen red palm fruit shortening/coconut oil

  • 3 Tbsp Grand Marnier (or extra orange juice for alcohol-free)


Method

  1. Combine apple + dried fruit + peel + ginger in a bowl.

  2. Add zest, juice, sugar & spices.

  3. Grate in the frozen red palm shortening for a buttery crumble effect.

  4. Stir in Grand Marnier or extra orange juice

  5. Let rest at least 24 hours in the fridge

  6. Use in tarts, bars, or holiday bakes - stay tuned to see how we use it!!
