TRY A MINCE PIE A British Christmas wouldn’t be the same without a platter of traditional mince pies, served with lashings of cream
With their buttery pastry and juicy filling of dried fruits soaked in brandy, mince pies are an essential part of the Christmas celebrations. They date back to the 12th century, and originally featured minced meat, along with dried fruit and spices. These days, this sweet treat is meat-free. Our Collection Star Mince Pies, â‚Źxx for xxx (318g), are finished with a star-shaped pastry lid for an extra festive touch. Serve them warm with cream and brandy butter.
