Bet they tasted fab too. Next year I think I might try making my mincemeat with whisky, sounds fabulous.

I'm not keen on fruit mince but I really do like it when there's a little mince and a lot of apple, so if I get around to baking mince pies this year I might experiment with that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-86477802020503463432013-12-15T23:53:25.146+11:002013-12-15T23:53:25.146+11:00Thanks Yummy CThanks Yummy CJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-31718623693272294642013-12-15T23:53:09.107+11:002013-12-15T23:53:09.107+11:00Thanks Katie - I think the chocolate is more notic...Thanks Katie - I think the chocolate is more noticeably in the chocolate mincemeat than in the chocolate pastry but I do like the double whammy of chocolate!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-3191428100181798582013-12-15T23:52:25.268+11:002013-12-15T23:52:25.268+11:00Thanks Lorraine - oh poor you having all your fami...Thanks Lorraine - oh poor you having all your family's unwanted mince tarts :-) My family loves mince tarts - my mum even sends them to Ireland to my sisterJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-85298808576849066542013-12-15T23:51:30.608+11:002013-12-15T23:51:30.608+11:00Thanks Jac - grrr to blogger for swallowing your c...Thanks Jac - grrr to blogger for swallowing your comment - you make me unsure when you note my use of fruit mince - I get a bit confused about whether it is fruit mince or mince meat (like the archaic nature of mince meat but worry it sounds like meat pies) and if it is mince pies or mince tarts. Argh! Have NCR in mind but am hoping to get a pic over the next few days.
