Calories: 303kcal
Ingredients
- 375 g Puff pastry sheet ready rolled at room temperature. *Using both sheets of Pepperidge Farm (17.3 oz) with more mincemeat is fine
- 411 g jar of mincemeat slow cooker mincemeat works too. *This is just over half of a 27-Ounce NONE SUCH Reday to Use mincemeat jar
- 50 g caster sugar
- 20 g Chopped nuts to decorate *Optional
- 1 tablespoon water or brandy / apricot jam with no lumps
Instructions
- First, sprinkle the caster sugar on a clean surface or large silicone making mat if using.
- Unroll the sheet of puff pastry on top of the sugar and use a rolling pin to make it a bit longer and wider in length.
- Spread the mincemeat on top, leaving a 2cm border all the way around.
- Fold over one of the longest edges by an inch, then roll it up tightly by hand, or you could use your silicone mat to help, BUT...
- Once you get to the other 2cm border, brush it with milk or water, then finish rolling it up.
- Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour to firm up (or longer if you wish!)
- Meanwhile, preheat your oven at 180c fan/200c conventional/Gas mark 6/400 F.
- Remove from the fridge, then slice into 12 to 14 slices, approx 2cm thick.
- Flip them on their sliced sides, preferably spaced apart if you have room and press down to flatten with your hands.
- Sprinkle the chopping nuts if using and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden and eat warm or cold.

Notes
Make sure you've allowed your puff pastry to get close to room temperature as possible. If not, when unrolling it, it can crack.
