MINCEMEAT PIE-BARS 
2 1/2 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. salt
1 c. shortening
5 to 6 tbsp. water
2 c. prepared mincemeat
2 tbsp. sugar (for tops)

Combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Add enough water to make dough moist enough to hold together. Divide dough in half. Roll one part on floured surface to make a 9x14 inch rectangle. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Spread mincemeat to within 1/2 inch of edges.

Roll remaining half of dough to 9x14 inch rectangle. Place on mincemeat; seal edges with fork. Prick top with fork. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden. Serve warm or cold, cut in 2-inch squares. Makes 28.
