Mincemeat tart

Mincemeat tarts (also known as mince pies) are a rich pastry generally associated with festive occasions, specifically Christmas and New Year's Eve. Originally, mince pies contained a mixture of meat, suet, dried fruit and spices, often with brandy, but today they usually omit the meat and suet and are made with fruitmince.

A British tradition associated with mincemeat tarts says that eating one a day on each of the twelve days of Christmas will ensure a happy following year [1] and that one should be left for Father Christmas as thanks for his delivery of gifts.
