I'm Working on Next Year's Happiness

Mum always said 'For every mince pie eaten before Christmas there's a day's happiness afterwards' (this was before she became gluten intollerant!)

I've made a start today, realised there was a photo opportunity so rushed upstairs did a couple of shots and then finished my first pre-Christmas pie. I'll work my around the supermarkets to decide the best, these Morrison's ones will take some beating though

PoJT My friend said she liked her personalised VeeDub Christmas decoration and we hope to get our vans together next month.
Mmmm! Made me smile šŸ˜„

My uncle makes the old fashioned mincemeat with elk meat. I have to say as a child I didnā€™t like it but itā€™s an aquired

I like the composition of this. For me, sadly, every mince pie eaten before Christmas means more dieting after Christmas.

They are dainty looking mince pies.

Lovely deep pies, beautifully presented!
November 9th, 2024  
I love that idea. They look delicious.

Why haven't I heard this before?! The challenge is probably a hill I'm going to die on!!!

Wonderful

Nice. I've just gobbled one :-).
November 9th, 2024  
Nicely presented. Are you going to eat just one from each shop or the whole box?
November 9th, 2024  
How delicious. I like the lights in the background making these miniature pies starring attractions.
November 9th, 2024  
Nicely done

Maybe you could make hers with an almond flour crust. Nice for rule of odds and I love that you took a bite to show the inside.

Your Mum would be so proud of you carrying on the tradition! I'd feel like adopting it but I can't eat gluten either - worse luck. :)

I used to make my own mince pies but these days I buy Mr Kipling's mince pies. The good news is that we can only get them here in Australia in the run up to Christmas. If we had them all year round I would be the size of a house.
November 9th, 2024  
Beautifully presented, and looking very festive!
November 9th, 2024

I've resisted fruit mince pies, but not the fruit mince cookies that our supermarket does at this time of year.
