Mix the mixed spice and flour together and then add the margarine. Mix with your hands until the consistancy is like breadcrumbs.
Slowly add the orange juice until it forms a dough. Roll out on a floured surface into a thin square with the sides long enough to be folded over once it is put into the dish.
Grease a square dish and put the pastry inside leaving the edges hanging over. Fill with mincemeat and then fold the extra pastry over the top.
Cook on gas mark 6 for 10-15 minutes. Once cool turn upside down and decorate with sultanas to look like a parcel.
