I hate mince pies as the pastry is wrong and the filling is weird. So as my a thing for the french sort of inlaws, I am making mince pies of a sort, or my version. Have had raisins, sultanas and currants soaking in ginger wine for about 6 months. To make the filling am going to add grated cooking apples, cinnamon, nutmeg with some dark muscavado sugar and not sure on which but salted french butter or beef suet this maybe skipped depends on the filling consistency. Then the pastry made with a salty butter/dripping mix to make the pastry less sweet more of a shortcrust style crisp pastry.
