I buy 4 puff pastry ones and eat two straight off. I save the other two for the evening. I could probably eat 4 a day

Mr Kipling. They have like a mince pie jam in the middle, regular white icing and little green & red sprinkles on top. Or the festive swirls I think they're called.

I use spiced rum.

The recipe i use is a hugh fearnley whittingstall recipe. Its more of a traditional recipe and had minced beef in it.

I suppose it takes on the flavour of the rum. Still difficult to get my head around but I think the texture will be nice.

The ones you buy in the shop don't have minced beef in. The ones i make do. They traditionally contained minced meat hence the name.

The meat kinda disintegrates into the rest of the ingredients so you would never guess it was there.

I have no idea when I last had a mince pie I've always been on a diet at Christmas for about the last six years.

Only one way to eat a mince pie is take the lid off out Stilton cheese in, warm it up and melt it and put the lid back on
