We made Green Tomato Mincemeat so we had to make something with it. She Who Must Be Obeyed made Mincemeat Matrimonial Bars. She must love me!
I don’t have pictures of the making of these bars as I haven’t healed from the last time I took pictures of her cooking. However, the recipe is attached!
The Verdict
I love this bar. It has the wonderful seasonings of mincemeat in a nice cookie type bar. It is delicious without being too sweet.

I haven’t had mincemeat since I was a kid. I have to try it again sometime soon!
Oh, you have to have some mincemeat! It is just such a special treat.
I make green tomato mincemeat but other than tarts and pies, I find it hard to use it. I’m excited to try these bars because I made some mincemeat and froze it this past fall. I am looking forward to making these and surprising my husband! Merry Christmas.
Lucky husband!
