Tip

The pear mince recipe is from the Festive Flavours cookbook. This Dream Bars recipe uses approximately half the quantity that you get from that recipe. There is another recipe for Fruity Pear Mince Baby Croissants which calls for half a batch of this fruit mince, which you could use the remainder for, or just make a double batch of this recipe!

    Closed lid"Closed lid" I used to make this often many years ago, and in a moment of nostalgia, searched to see if someone had bothered to convert it for the Thermomix. Thank you!
    This is my third batch in 7 days, as my family and friends have confirmed its popularity by the rate is disappears from the plate! I've only managed to eat one slice of it so far!

    YUM! I love mince pies but can never be bothered with making them, this is a perfect substitute.

    Delicious.  I made a double batch, used a lamington tin.  After about 10 mins cooking, I sprinkled over chopped pecan nuts.  Continued cooking, but took much longer (probably as double batch).  This was so quick and easy, used bought fruit mince.  No more baking fruit mince pies for me, this is much less work and a wonderful recipe.  Thank you.

    Hmmm, delish.  I found that the Pear Mince recipe in the Festive Flavour cookbook made just over 1kg. I froze my leftover Pear Mince. Great recipe, thanks for sharing  Cooking 7
