I have a jar of Robertson Classic mincemeat mixed 50/50 with my own fruit, some suet, a large glug of brandy and a few smashed up almonds. It’s been soaking for a couple of days and should be good to go.
Will make some all butter pastry later and see what they turn out like.
Epitaph.
I’m up for excellent full fat ingredients. I require them put together in a way that respects tradition and decency. Otherwise it is not a minced pie, it is a perversion.
I get a strong urge to punch mince pies in shops that say “deluxe”
I hear that voice in my mind too. The words “Twist” “Upgrade” and “Re-boot” also act as itching powder to my soul. I react very poorly to them.
hmmmm you could be on to something there - punched pies - or even dropped pies
surely a second Michelin star is within your grasp
Reimagined is a pet hate.
I do worry the kids will one day turn into the cake and pie aisle with the trolley, just to see there dad wrestling with mince pies.
deconstructed, smashed, pureed, and sous-vide
Made by fol2, a bit rustic (like her sausage rolls this morning) with some leakage, but I love those caramelised bits 
That’s the fruit explosion Lidl were dreaming of with their abominable miniature pies.
Leakage is not only allowed, but is to be encouraged.
yep that’s what Louise tells me
A surprisingly large amount of sick just came into my mouth.
Stand back for areal treat. Someone please make these and report back.
Supermarket shopper disappointed by their baked offerings?
Is it really news? Given the severity of the offence, this shopper appears to have gone out of his way to be reasonable.
I see Butterfly girl is getting about. "Your cunning , supple, be-paited body is most welcome madame… but you can step back from the pies and no mistake! "
