¼tsp of Almond Extract.

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/160°C Fan/Gas Mark 3. Line and grease a flat baking tray.
2. Place the spelt flour and stevia into a large mixing bowl or food processor.
3. Add the coconut butter, ghee, almond extract and lemon. Pulse or rub the fat into the flour and sugar until you have loose breadcrumbs.
4. Add a little milk if necessary to bring together into a dough.
5. Roll out the pastry to around 1.5cm (½ inch) thick into a rectangular shape, neaten up the edges by hand.
6. Spread the jar of mincemeat evenly over the surface of the pastry,
7. Then roll up the pastry along its shortest side to form a long cylinder. Cut 3 or 4 criss-cross slits along the top of the roll. There is no need to glaze this roll.
8. Place in the centre of the oven for 30-40 minutes depending on the thickness of your pastry. Dust with some Sweetly Stevia or icing sugar.
9. The roll can be served straight from the oven with custard, cream or ice-cream. It can equally be sliced cold and eaten on its own.
