I was feeling a little guilty about a serious lack of Christmas spirit
but then it started to snow so I was inspired to come home and bake some
mincemeat tarts. I had a jar of Robertson's mincemeat filling that I got
at the end of the season last year. I made two batches of dough, opened
up the mincemeat and laced it with some brandy. I used to make small
tarts but decided this year to make the bigger ones. It is probably
because I am lazy and hate fiddling with the small tarts.
The first batch is out and cooling and the second batch is in the oven,
and then there is a third one for when that one is done. There was
enough dough and mincemeat left to make one very large tart using a
Pyrex ramekin.
I have batches of almond tarts and vanilla sablés cooling now.
Yesterday I made chocolate crunch and GF choc chip cookies, the
latter to a NYT recipe that has proven to be popular. These are
for my BC family. On Monday I'll be making the same things for my
Calgary family.
