I decided that MaryBerry's recipe looked good - I trust her for something traditional like this, and I also liked the fact that this recipe didn't use suet as I knew if I bought a whole box I wouldn't use it for anything else
I made this one last year using MaryBerry’s recipe. Omit the sherry and cranberry sauce too. I have already posted my low-FODMAP mincemeat recipe which can be used alongside my gluten and dairy-free shortcrust pastry, or my grain-free pastry (if you don’t get on with the shop bought gluten-free flour blends)
Rachel Allen has a more classic approach of dividing one shortbread mixture in half to create two layers surrounding the mincemeat, whilst MaryBerry’s recipe has a very thin pastry layer as the base and a grated streusel topping
She is one of the best of the female cook's here in the UK, next to MaryBerry. tasty delights such as a yummy Mincemeat Jalousie, or a Spiced Cranberry, Mincemeat and Almond Eve's Pudding
