Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes, plus 30 minutes chilling time

Cooking Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

200 g macadamia flour
60 g butter, melted until slightly browned and cooled
2 T sugar
1 t vanilla paste
1 free-range egg, beaten
1 x 450 g jar Woolworths fruit mincemeat
100 g Woolworths Christmas grapefruit marmalade with gin (or traditional marmalade)
50 g flaked almonds
icing sugar, for dusting

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the flour into a bowl and mix in the butter, sugar, vanilla and egg. Knead to form a ball, then wrap in clingwrap and chill for 30 minutes.

2. Allow the dough to soften slightly, then roll out between two pieces of greaseproof paper into a roundish shape. Place on a lined baking tray.

3. Spoon in the mincemeat and marmalade, leaving a 5 cm border around the edges. Fold the border over. Sprinkle over the nuts and bake for 35 minutes. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
