Lady Mix-a-lot: They are yummy! If you want to make it ahead the fruit mince will keep for up to 3 weeks in the fridge. Once made, the tarts will keep for up to 1 week in a sealable container.
Hope you enjoy them!

Hello TM Community, I'm planning on baking these delicious looking fruit mince tarts and wondered how long they keep for please.
Thanks for the handy hints, by the way!
These are delicious. Thankyou.
Everyone loved - including a few who don't normally like mince pies!
Had a bit of a challenge with rolling and cutting the pastry on a hot Perth afternoon but overcame that with frequent bursts in the fridge on my thermomat
I made this recipe today, it's delicious! The fruit is perfect
I made these yesterday - absolutely delicious! I did blind bake the pastry cases after my first batch delivered soggy mince pies that crumbled when I tried to get them out of the muffin tin. My subsequent batches were much more successful. I believe this recipe makes 18 portions (as per the book), and not 8 as stipulated above.
The mince is great. I reduced the amount of ginger. I used my own non-TM pastry though.
Moorish and delicious
