This recipe came from a local cookbook put out by the LeMarchant St. Thomas school. We love mincemeat and this is a change from the normal mincemeat tarts and pies. One of our favorite bars. The frosting recipe is optional - you can use any butter type frosting and we prefer one enhanced with orange rind or orange liqueur. Enjoy......
