Ingredients
  • For the pastry
  • 385g plain flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 225g unsalted butter
  • 40g ground almonds
  • 100g golden caster sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 ½tbsp cold water
  •  
  • For the filling
  • 85g currants
  • 85g raisins
  • 85g sultanas
  • 85g dried cranberries
  • 1 small cooking apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
  • 60g butter, cut into cubes
  • 40g brazil nuts
  • 95g light muscovado sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp mixed spice
  • 1 tbsp Pomegranate Molasses
  • 2 Beldi Preserved Lemons, rind only, chopped
  • 1 orange, finely grated rind and juice
  • 25ml sherry
Method
  • Step 0: To make the pastry, sieve the flour into a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt. Add in the butter and rub together until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs, then stir in the ground almonds and sugar.
  • Step 1: Mix in the egg yolks and 2½ tbsp of ice-cold water. Add enough water to bring the mixture together into a firm, but not wet, dough. Shape into a ball, wrap in cling-film and place in the fridge to rest for half an hour.
  • Step 2: Preheat the oven to 190°C / 175 fan / gas mark 4.
  • Step 3: For the filling, add all of the ingredients except the alcohol into a large pan. Heat so the butter melts and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.
  • Step 4: While the mixture is cooling, grease the tins and roll out half of the pastry on a floured surface until about 3mm thick. Line the tartlet tins with the rolled pastry.
  • Step 5: Stir the sherry into the mixture and fill each pie ¾ full with mincemeat, then roll out the other half of the pastry and cut out circles to make the lids.
  • Step 6: Brush the edges of the cupped pastry with water or milk and press the lids lightly on to the pies to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edge and make a hole in the centre to allow the steam to escape. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden.
  • Step 7: Cool on a rack and dust with icing sugar.
