Ingredients:

1 c. graham cracker crumbs,

1/4 cup melted butter,

14 to 16 oz Cross & Blackwell Mincemeat,

4 cups small marshmallows,

1/2 cup orange juice,

2 tsp orange zest,

1/2/ pint whipped cream,

16 oz cream cheese.

Crust:

1 cup graham crackers, crumbs

1/4 cup melted butter – mix & press into pan. Bake 10 min at 325 F. and set aside to cool.

In bowl 1:

whip 1/2 pint whipping cream

In Bowl 2:

soften 16 oz cream cheese with 2 tsp grated orange rind (zest)

In bowl 3:

mix 14-16 oz Cross & Blackwell Mincemeat with 1/2 cup each of apples and orange (finely chopped). Reserve 1/2 cup for decorative topping.

In a double boiler add 1/2 cup orange juice and 4 cups small marshmallows. Melt until smooth.

Once crust is cool, spread the mincemeat mixture over crust.

Mix together marshmallow and cream cheese mixture. A mixer does a good job to get it lump free. Fold in the whipped cream and then pour over the mincemeat. Chill at least one hour and decorate the top with the reserved mincemeat mixture.
