hehehe at first glance i thought you said fruit mice muffins and i thought ohhow cruel, but cute ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are a really good idea for using up the fruitmince (I call it mincemeat - such a confusing name)! I have been making flapjacks out of our leftovers and also stirring it into my porridge which tastes really good
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! Nice picture!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a great idea! My sis is still savouring the fruitmince tarts that I brought over from Sydney for her. The ones in Singapore sold out before Christmas and she loves those little tarts. I know I could have made some for her but David Jones had some really good freshly baked ones.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I love fruitmince/mincemeat but only discovered it once I came to the US. The muffins would be great for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful, Haalo!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about fruit mince muffins too, .. if only I had some fruit mince left! Maybe I should make up a new batch... celebrate an extra Christmas. Could do with more ham leftoevers too, come to think of it
ReplyDelete:-D
These sound and look delicious. I'm still not over my need to bake for the holidays, and they're gone. Happy New Year cookies, maybe? :)
ReplyDeleteHaalo,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your post about making fruit mince and mince tarts. I had been on the lookout for a fruit mince recipe for a while that seemed to look great and not include mixed peel or anything hideous like that. I made both types of tarts and they were such a hit with my family I cann't tell you, especially me. I have a heap of fruit mince left over. Do you think I could put it into sterilised jars for next year?
Can I just say in general I love your blog and I regularly make your recipes. Thank you again.

Hi Aria, The cats might enjoy the fruit mice muffins, not sure I would ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sophie - it is really mincemeat but I even confused Paalo with that, he thought I'd made savoury muffins!
Thanks MCH!
Thanks Nora - I think all the tarts have been replaced by hot cross buns!
Thanks Helen - they would be perfect for breakfast!
Thanks Patricia!
Thanks Y - I'm finding out anytime is a good time for fruitmince ;)
Thank you Lauren - so happy to hear that the tarts went down so well. I think it was traditional to bottle the excess mince so if you take all the right precautions it shouldn't be a problem. I suppose the other way might be to freeze it in serving sized portions?
