Ingredients

1 quantity home-made pastry
700g mincemeat (use ready-made or see know-how)

For the topping

100g plain flour
50g ground almonds
50g caster sugar
135g cold unsalted butter, cubed
25g dried cranberries
25g flaked almonds
Icing sugar, to dust

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Thinly roll out 2 quantities of pastry on a floured surface and use to line the base and sides of a 20cm x 27cm rectangular, loose-bottomed, fluted tart tin – you may not need all the pastry.
Prick the base with a fork and fill with baking paper and beans. Blind bake for 10 minutes, then remove the paper and beans and return to the oven for 5 minutes.
Spread the mincemeat over the pastry base. In a bowl, mix plain flour, ground almonds and caster sugar. Rub in the butter, until like crumbs. Stir in dried cranberries and flaked almonds. Scatter over the mincemeat.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden. Cool and dust with icing sugar.
