Mince Pies The Movie

[@annefaught6009]

I believe I heard a little sigh of satisfaction after that little pie disappeared? Beautiful.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Sherry Faught you did! 😂

[@narelleworks8448]

Nearly 59 and still not tasted a mince pie. I couldn't get my head around minced meat as a sweet. 😂 I may be braver enough to buy one this year, (having witnessed your delicious looking mince pies) just to see if it suits my peculiar palette and dietary requirements. (Ooo don't I sound all posh and la dee dah!) I've been a subscriber for the equivalent of 5 mins and I'm hooked on watching you, listening to you, learning from you, quietly chatting with you (I answer you without thinking) and getting to know the cats (I'm allergic to them but they are still gorgeous), your home and farm speak to my heart. Kate, you have a grace, warmth and friendliness that feels like we were once good friends who just haven't seen each other in a long time. That's a true gift. Thank you for making your videos. Thank you for the perfect imperfections that make you so approachable in these videos. Most of all, thank you for the beautiful smiles, cheeky grins and bubbling laughter that you share. I can't help but "catch" it from you. I truly wish I could be a patron of your channel. If I could give a dollar a month to the channels I know to be worth being a patron to I'd have no pension left. 🤔 If I started a channel of my own... I'd be owing patrons money! 😂😂😂 You are a joy, Kate. Thank you for making me think about my life differently. 💜🦉🇦🇺🌸🌺🌷🌹🌻🌼💐🌾🍀☘️🌱🌿

I hope you have tried one now? Mincemeat pies no longer contain meat since about the late Victorian period. Now most contain beef suet, grated fat from a cow. Some jars say no suet and have other fat in.

I make these little mince pies every Christmas. I have my mother's little tart pan (sort of like muffin tin). I usually only make these and shortbread. These freeze well and are delicious with a wee dab of vanilla ice cream on top. I always send my son a package of these. Brings back lovely memories of my Mum.

[@heatherfoley4945]

A beautiful presentation of mince pies Kate! And I ever so enjoy a bit of silence now and again. Peace on Earth oxox

[@carole3680]

You are so right about the extraneous noise! The pies are all the more gorgeous by their presentation in calm, soothing ambient aural delight.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Carole Thorogood thank you so much, it just felt like an unnecessary extra to voice over that they were mince pies! Easy to see for yourself! Xxx😊❤️

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

Once again you reminded me of my mother. Thank you! She loved mince pies. They were always a part of the desserts she made for Thanksgiving and Christmas. She would have loved you! 🙏❤

helen luis thank you so much, that is the sweetest thing to say xxxxxxx ❤️😊

Haven't had a good mince meat pie since i was a kid, my great-aunt always brought the mincemeat pie and spiced apple rings for the holiday meals.

[@irhonda31]

You really go the extra mile on everything you do! So many special extra touches. 🥰

I'm the ONLY one left in my Family who likes Mince pies. ..(USA) looks so yummy!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS & a HAPPY HEALTHY NEW YEAR! 🎇🎅🏼👼🏻🕯🤶🏼🦌🎊🎉☃️

[@salishseaquest7952]

Kate, again a brilliant idea. Love the idea of the individual mince pies! Perfect for taste-testing without getting caught, too. ASMR was marvelous. Happy Christmas!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Salish Sea Quest there’s too much noise for no reason at Christmas don’t you think! 🙄😂😊

[@christinepease890]

this took me back many decades when I was little and watched mum and nan make lots of mincemeat pies, I have to make my own in France they do not make them here, though a friend found a box for the first time in the shop this year lol thank you, Kate, have a beautiful evening x

[@margaretbedwell58]

One of my all time favorite pies. I love mincemeat. I thank you too for sharing the idea of ground almonds in the pastry...a little added flavor and little added nutrition. Have a Blessed day.

[@candacenagle505]

Those look so festive and delicious!

[@lindagwizdz2581]

Great looking pies.

[@l.baughman1445]

I’m catching up so just seeing this now.....the title alone made me laugh! .....and lard makes pastry very flakey but it’s not a health food...I’m so happy you did this video as I love to bake and this is such a classic!!!

[@charlenehicks6292]

I really wish I could taste your mince pie . They look marvelous. As, A young girl our family ate mincemeat pies at Christmas but they were ready made or bottled mince. I loved Mince pie. One year, my friend’s mother made a mincemeat pie and it had venison in it , it was wonderful.

[@Melisazc461]

Absolutely charming 😊❤😊 I❤Mincemeat

[@gwynwellliver4489]

Hooray for part two! Just a lovely little taste and no soggy bottoms. Yummo! Merry Christmas!

[@sheshallbeful]

I'm not a mince pie fan but you have given me the idea to make other flavors like pumpkin, chocolate, lemon, coconut cream etc. Love the idea design of putting the little stars on top. Very festive 🎉🎄Happy holidays to you Kate.

[@gigglegiggles3189]

Butter Tarts. I was wondering what she used to cut the right sze I am forever running around trying to find something lol

[@cheryl8280]

@@gigglegiggles3189 I use a cocktail glass that's about 3" across I mean, why not. I don't drink anymore so may as well use the glasses for baking!! LOL

[@beth12svist]

They look lovely. And with almonds and vanilla in the pastry, they must taste lovely, too! I think lard in pastry/dough can actually be quite nice - good old recipes for Czech buchty often have it, for example, and I've had pretty nice Christmas cookies with it. But it probably depends a lot on (aside from questions of vegetarianism) what the lard itself is like. If lard in the English-speaking world is more like the nasty over-processed stuff sold in hard pressed bars in shops here in Czechia than like the nice, soft home-processed stuff you either make yourself or get in tubs from smaller butcheries - then yes, that would be nasty to have in your pastry. :P :-)

[@angelaevans8632]

Today we tend to avoid this in pastry making but my mum and gran always used lard and their pastry was superb. ( so you’re right Beth lard does work well in pastry making). I can remember the taste today and the texture was also crumbly. I’m sure that after the war, for my gran particularly, butter was in short supply so you would never use it for pastry. My mum never wasted stale bread either. She would make a big tray of bread pudding and all my friends would come over for a slice after a long day of playing outdoors. People used what they could get in those days. If my husband wasn’t a vegetarian I’d probably use lard today.

[@gingerkoel5608]

Loved the content sounds as you sampled these lovelies. Though my family is Italian, my mother still made them for my Scottish Father.

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Those look delicious

[@margaretmurrell4663]

Oh, Kate they look delicious and are just beautiful on the plate! I will give them a try! ...FYI....I made some biscotti after watching your video on those and they turned out so good! Hope you have a blessed winter solstice! ♡♡♡♡♡

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Margaret Murrell biscotti are still my favourite. I made the Christmas ones with other nuts in ready to give as gifts. Apart from the few (?) I kept back for me! Xxx😂😊❤️

Mmm those look so tasty!! Oh and my order has arrived safely. I'm so happy:) merry christmas ms kate.

[@glenysperry6351]

Hi ,my hubby does the pastry and we use stars on top of tarts too! Yummy! In our home he bakes, well he is British, and I do the barbeques , I am Canadian!

[@nanpark1365]

I'm saving your recipes to use. My dad was stationed in England during WW2 and ate everything. Mince pies, lemon curd, marmalade and a few other things. When he was alive I made all his favorite English things. He made shortbread cookies, made a dent in each one and put in marmalade. Like square thumbprint cookies. I only got one because he couldn't spare more than two or three. I think the one I got was for supplying the marmalade. He ate the rest. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

nan park they sound delicious and it’s such a treat to share a recipe you love - even though you want to eat them all yourself! He sounds very special xxxxxxx😊❤️
