Be it home recipe or shop bought, it is fast approaching the season of the mince pie.
Do you like them? Do you have baking tips for creating awesome tasting mince pies? Which shop bought ones are the best? |

I make my own mincemeat using a traditional recipe that has minced beef in it. It's no where near as sweet and sickly as jarred mincemeat or shop mince pies and I use a sweet shortcrust pastry recipe. My mince pies have converted people who thought they hated mince pies. |

We’ve eaten approximately eleventy billion in our house this year already.
If we make them we use a bbc recipe which you can find by googling ‘unbelievably easy mince pies) |

Yessss! I love Mince pies so much! They are my favourite pie. I make my own sometimes but if we buy them I like the ones with icing on the top. 
One Christmas we bought an extra 90 mince pies on Dec_mber 27 and I ate 60 of them. |

Much like Scarlet up there my mince pies have converted a few haters over the years.
I have a few people who have asked me to make some for them including my hairdresser (she wants 24) in exchange for 2 free haircuts
(Ps SS I bet mine are better than yours!!) |

"Take the lid off. Put a slice of stilton cheese in and grill or microwave until melted then put the lid back on. Only way to eat a mince pie"
That's a bit like cheese on an eccles cake. Which is a delight |

We like mince pies but being wheat, gluten, egg and dairy free we have to make them ourselves which is a bit of an effort working and being a parent. I will be baking some soon though |

"I (Luke) like them. I doubt Hannah has tried them but she doesn't like raisins so they are probably a non-starter with her. "
I really do not like raisins, but I do like mince pies (such a weirdo!) |

"Do not get the salted caramel mince pies from Aldi, they smell like cheese 
Asda are doing mince pie cookies which are absolutely delicious. "
I liked the salted caramel ones.
My favourite is the chocolate orange ones i got last year. Think they where from tesco but can't find them this year. |

I have three choices then:
1. Accept she won't like them.
2. Try to persuade her myself on the basis that somebody else who doesn't like raisins does like mince pies.
3. Send her down to Horsham and let you try to persuade her.
Which should I go for? |
