Author Notes
My family has been making these bars for a long time - you'll find that even the staunchest 'anti-fruit-mince' people will love these rich, moist and scrumptious bars. They're a perfect way to use up your leftover mincemeat (or a good excuse to make some or open a new jar). —aussiefoodie
