Shitty weekend so i dashed to Sainsbury’s before it closed to get some mincemeat. In and out in 5 minutes and dodged the Sunday daydreamers for the most part. Reasonable start.
Confirmed as of today, I have my mum and in-laws round for Xmas Day so thought I should get some practice in to avoid potential for sub-par pies. Haven’t made mincers in since I lived with my parents (15ish years ago), so I wasn’t holding out much hope. Fast forward 90mins (longer than anticipated!)...They’re definitely not lookers but they taste pretty good and the pastry is nice and short.
The addition of satsuma segments and chopped apple makes for a more mellow flavour. Might jack one up with some brandy butter. Where do we stand on Christmassy condiments?
The OH popped home for 5mins, having been out all afternoon and took eight, EIGHT(!) to give to her parents. Good job it’s the season of goodwill.
Looking forward to a couple after my burrito (which I’m also now making since she’s gone to see her parents.) 🙄
