Mincemeat Streusel Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of cold butter with 1 1/2 cups flour and the salt with a fork until the mixture is very crumbly. Mix in water, a tablespoon at a time, just until the mixture holds together. Mix again with a fork, then turn out onto a floured pastry cloth. Pat the dough out into a round piece, and roll out into a 10-inch circle. Invert a 9-inch pie dish onto the dough. Flip the dough over, and peel from the pastry cloth; adjust the crust into the plate if necessary. Fold the dough over the edge of the pie dish. Set the crust aside.
• Combine the raisins, apples, grapefruit peel, orange juice, and apple cider in a saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apple pieces are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup of sugar, the cinnamon, cloves, and half a crushed graham cracker, and mix well.
• Mix together 1/3 cup of sugar, 3/4 cup of flour, 6 tablespoons of butter, and half a crushed graham cracker in a bowl, stirring until the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Pour the mince filling into the prepared pie crust, and sprinkle evenly with the streusel topping.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C); bake until the topping is lightly browned, about 30 more minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

Steps:

• Lightly grease 9 inch, deep dish pie plate or fluted quiche pan.
• Layer half the bread cubes over the bottom.
• Pour mincemeat evenly over the bread.
• Top with the remaining bread cubes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon.
• Pour over the bread and mincemeat mixture.
• Let stand 10 minutes, press gently with back of a spoon to moisten the top layer.
• In a small bowl, combine flour and brown sugar.
• Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Sprinkle this over the pudding mixture.
• Bake in a pre-heated 350F oven for 40 minutes or until knife inserted in the centre comes out clean and topping is golden.
• Let stand 10 minutes before serving with Jiffy Custard Sauce.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. You will need a 12" x 9" (30 x 23 cm) tin.
• Measure the flour and icing sugar into a mixing bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add sufficient water to mix to a firm dough. (You can use your processor.).
• Roll out the pastry to a rectangle slightly larger than the tin, the line the base and sides of the tin with pastry. Trim level with the top edges of the tin and patch any gaps if necessary. Spread the mincemeat evenly over the pastry base.
• For the topping:.
• Put the flour, semolina and caster sugar into a mixing bowl. Melt the butter, allow to cool slightly, pour onto the dry ingredients and mix together to form a dough. Chill for 30 minutes, as this will make it easier to grate.
• Grate the dough using a coarse grater and spread evenly over the mincemeat. Bake in a pre-heated oven for 20 - 25 minutes until golden brown.
• Cut into 16 evenly sized slices and serve warm with cream or brandy butter.
