Oh my goodness. I was feeling quite at ease with my own mince pies till I saw your images. I shall check back here every hour on the hour for recipes/links to that I may rise to the mince pie occasion this year.
Bob loathes citrus peel - so we replace that with some dried cranberries.
I like shortcrust pastry, not puff or phyllo.
I usually put a 'solid' pastry top on my pies - but have been known to put
a blob of meringue, or crumble some streusel topping on.
But this sounds like I am an expert. I am not- I am really up there with Alison Pearson's heroine, who 'distressed' shop bought mincepies, so her son could take them into school as 'homemade' ones.
Woo hoo! Seven sleeps!
My granny made mince pies, but not me. I'd like to read descriptions and what people like about them.
Having made Jamie's Mince Pie cookies last year and found the fabulous LIDL ones back in the shops again won't be making mince pies ever again!
Pom, what I like IS that my granny made them. It's been so long since I've eaten a piece, or a little pie, I have no idea if I like them now! I figured if I tweaked or found the right recipe, I could make one that I liked....
Oh my, my in-laws would have loved these! I'm afraid I stick to pumpkin pie, but they absolutely loved their mince. Thanks for the delightful visit for a Pause in Advent and for the sweet family memories of lovely Christmases past!
Mine tend to be from Sainsbury...
Mags, I'm sorry to admit that I've never eaten a mince pie. I've never SEEN a mince pie. I'm not even certain that I know what one is. Does it contain meat -- as in, minceMEAT -- or not? I'm going to watch this blog event with eager interest!!
