Put the oven on to Gas mark 6 or 200C
Melt the butter in a saucepan
Carefully unroll the filo pastry and lay on the work surface.
Cut the pastry into even sized squares. Each parcel will need at least
4 squares.
Brush each square with the melted butter and lay at angles on top of
each other.
Place a spoonful of the mincemeat in the centre and gather up the
pastry over the top of the filling to form a parcel shape.
Brush with melted butter and place on a baking tray.
Bake for about 10 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp.
Variations
 Use dried figs, apricots, prunes, etc. as an alternative to the
mincemeat.
 Vary the spices you put into the mixture.
