Missus-ru made the first batch at the weekend. I can probably say it here with impunity, but her pastry, while good, was not quite on a par with my favoured Sainsbury's Sweet Pastry. Mince filling superb though.
She has, however, agreed to try out eyebrows marzipan topping (star/angel/xmas tree)on the next batch which I am very much looking forward to.
In other news: Lidl Stollen - 7/10. Ever so slightly dry and could with a bit more fruit, but pretty impressive.
