Haven't made mince pies since I was a kids, making them with my mum. Seriously miss that time with my mum, she was old fashioned and made everything from scratch and I was lucky enough that she took the time in teaching me how to cook and bake!

For years my mother-in-law thought I didn't like mince pies. I'd have one, to be polite, and smother it in cream or brandy butter. I kept telling her it was the pastry I didn't like. My mother and I had a wonderful arrangement regarding pies...I ate the filling and she ate the pastry. Well, she only got the crusty bits of pumpkin pie...I did like the part under the filling... I digress. When MIL could no longer make the mince pies, I took over and happened on a sweet shortcrust pasty. Tried several, but the family rejected them. THIS recipe was an absolute winner last year. Steve, I tell you, I never made such fantastic mince pies. Teamed with MIL's family recipe for the filling, they were superb! About to make them again and came to double check the lid technique...which BTW finally gives me lids that stat doesn't separate. Thanks so much for the recipe and Merry Christmas.

Update I am going to make some more of these mince pies today. Once cooled the last batch were delicious, and all went in a flash. I haven't yet found the ingredients to make my own mince but will keep looking. I left mine to cook until the pastry was crispy and they came out just right. This was my very first attempt at pastry so thanks for the video easy to follow and led to success.

Mom always made a large 9" mince pie for the holiday season. We topped it with whipped cream. I never made the mince myself, and neither did she. I was heading for the shops to buy some, and saw (from several youtube videos of various types... I am avoiding suet) and realized it can't be that hard to make. So, this year I did it... with what I had and could get ahold of. Here in Denmark we grow on our black currents, but you can't find them dried. I will dry some black and red currents for my future mince meats. Also, my hubby asked for port instead of brandy. That wasnt hard to substitute either... (and it's made from black currents). Using dried apricots, dates, raisins, sultanas, pink lady apples, oranges, lemons and almonds, spices and some brown sugar. I had not expected it to grow so much, but we will put it to good use! Enjoy the Christmas season. Thanks for posting. Now I have to be patient and make myself wait before using it!

My mother loved pecan. She thought it was too sweet. She really enjoyed pumpkin pie however it needed something. In 1952 she created the Pumpkin Pecan Pie. She would make her Pecan Pie and add 1 1/2 cups of pumpkin, one extra egg and 1/2 cup of half and half. You see a lot of pumpkin Pecan pies but back in 1952 she was the first. A young mother born and raised on an Idaho farm with 9 brothers and sisters. I miss her everyday.

I've been wanting to try some traditional deserts and foods for a while now and these are going to be a great start! Even though it's hard as heck to find the ingredients here.
