1 (17 oz.) can (2 c.) fruit cocktail
1 (9 oz.) pkg. condensed mincemeat
2 1/2 c. packaged biscuit mix
1 c. sugar
3 tbsp. butter, melted
1 egg
Vanilla ice cream

Drain fruit cocktail, reserving 1/2 cup syrup. In medium bowl, combine the drained fruit, the mincemeat and the reserved syrup; mix well to soften mincemeat. Combine biscuit mix, sugar, melted butter and egg; mix until crumbly. Press half the crumb mixture into greased 13"x9"x2" baking pan. Spread fruit mixture atop and then cover with remaining crumb mixture, pressing in lightly. Bake in 375 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Cut into squares; top each with a scoop of ice cream; sprinkle with toasted coconut, if desired. Makes 12 servings.
